Hi all I have had, so embarrassing...a leaking bowel since day two after my op. I am now day five.. I go to sleep and I wake up and it has just leaked out of me...I don't feel like it was after I have passed wind or anything.. I have been very careful with anything that goes in my mouth. I am only taking in 10 grams of protien powder at meal. Not eating any sugar or fat..mostly just pain meds, Water, a few ounces of black Decaf tea with a tiny bit of skim milk. chewable vitamins. Ect... Please don't tell me this is normal...running out of pads and self esteem..any clues guys....please......also I have an off and on temp since day two of surgery...makes me shake n chiver

Wow damn girl... Idk what to say. You haven't mention anything strange. I think you should buy adult diapers incase accidents at night but I would call the surgeon about this. I have t heard if this. I got the vomiting for a month it stoped then at 3 months vomiting 1 week till they found out my stomach closed up & I wasn't. Able to keep food down at all. Call the surgeon ASAP liquid poop is dehydration

Call surgeon...primarily because you have a fever. I had back surgery, was on antiobiotics beforehand.and they didn't think it was possible...it is, it got MUCH worse, make that call!! Infections can be picked up many ways and are unfortunately normal, but you need to treat them...

Are you taking Fiber? My nut has me on the Benefiber equivalent twice a day. Fiber supplements actually help get rid of diarrhea but definitely call that Dr!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
