I will be 3 weeks out tomorrow and every time I eat or drink anything it runs right through me. It has gotten to the point where it burns so bad I don't want to eat or drink anything because I don't want to have to go to the bathroom. Any advice?

Call your doctor right away. I don't think that's what should be happening.

Agreed. Call your surgeon. I have regular BMs now...but have to use stool softener.

OMG I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!! I've had weeks & weeks of relentless diarrhea. Can't be away from a bathroom. To make it to my 2week post op I had to not have any Protein shake that morning. I'm 5 weeks today. It's a bit better now that I'm using Fiber powder (Target brand since Benefiber is off the market). I'm trying 3 doses a day, and its helping. You can put it in anything, solid, liquid, hot, cold. Might be worth a try.

I had diahrea for 6 months straight. I found that for me it was my B12. When I take my B12 under the tongue - no diarrhea, but when I skip a day I get to spend quality time in the bathroom. My doc said it made no sense at all.

my doc said to try immodium and go back to liquids. I will do immodium but emotionally I cannot go back to liquids. I just can't stomach anymore of that. I am beyond frustrated. I am 3 weeks out today and have just had a rough time of it. I am questioning if I did the right thing.

You did the right thing. You are at the stage that you regret the surgery. Trust me this too shall pass!

Hang in there!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
