Random burst of diareah?! Three weeks out from having the sleeve. Have not had anything out of the ordinary from what I've been doing... Is that normal?

I'm wondering if ur suffering from dumping. I am only 4 days out and haven't had that happen yet :). Although I have heard it does happen.

Yes a lot of people think that you cannot dump with the sleeve, but you can....

Look back at what you ate in the last 24 hours and try them again one at a time and see what reaction you get...elimination is a great tool to see what you cannot tolerate...Other wise consider it a good cleaning out...K

I think I've experienced this with the Boost/Ensure nutrition drinks. I had two back to back (within a 5 hour span) and it totalled about 65g carbs...needless to say it went right through me and I didn't feel very good for a few hours!

There are things that are on my list that I can eat but they don't sit well with me and then I have the runs.....You can figure out what it is..Like other posters who have narrowed it down to this or that...no reason to panic.....you will figure it out...

Sometimes it just happens because of how you are feeling that day....This just is the way it is...But if it is a food issue better to try to find the culprit then keep having this trouble... :)

The runs is not dumping. Still it is normal, especially before you are on solids. If it continues past solids and is happening most of the time (rather than rarely), talk to your doctor. It could be something you are eating that is not agreeing with you, it could be gall bladder issues, or could be just one of those things.

Yeah, I am not on solids yet so I expect the squirts to happen.

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
