Since surgery 3 weeks ago, I have had 2 "accidents"!. Today it was the result of a sneeze, the first was a result of thinking it was just gas. Luckily I was at home both times. But what happens when I go back to work next week?! I would be horrified! Please tell me this is not going to keep happening!

Why take a chance. Keep some spare clothes in your car. :blush:

Panty liners or pads!

Never trust a fart! Have a spare pair of panties with you. Its normal, just go with it, soon enough you will be stopped up.

It won't keep happening - but like they say, don't trust a fart. Now that you're still doing liquids, everything coming out will be liquid as well. It won't be like this for long. :)

It gets better, but you'll have it for a while. I always carried spare panties with me for the first few months until I was on solid food 100%. Sneezes, coughs, those are the worst, but sometimes just walking would encourage it. Yecch.

I didn't have accidents thankfully but those four weeks on liquids(pre and post op) were shall we say busy with trips to the restroom! My warning I received from a veteran was make sure you have a stool softener once you hit soft foods and sure enough I was free of one problem and onto another in the course of a few days! Miralax is now my BFF! Good luck!!!

Oh mercy!!!! NEVER trust a fart!! and if you become constipated and have to take Fiber - still, NEVER trust a fart..panty liners are a good idea and a change of clothes...Your stools will harden up and then you will be wishing for these little slip ups...Don't stress over this...You aren't the first, nor will you be the last that this will happen to...

I had a couple near misses and quickly realized that anything over 12gms of sugar sent me running. It resolved when I started puréed foods. Now I have to take laxatives and stool softeners. :-/

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
