Mwestcons: thank you for ur response. I will try with milk, I think the cramps make me stop eating or drinking the shakes, I think I am putting in too much! I guess I really don't know if I am full or not? Hope things improve each day, going back to work for half day tomorrow.

Hi! I was sleeved on June 26 & have dropped 10lbs. I am just trying to focus on staying hydrated. Unfortunately I've not been able to keep it all in. Going to try Imodium AD tomorrow but afraid I'm to late. Any suggestions on how to keep my fluids in?

Hey I'm a RN and Imodium is a good idea prob need to replace the good bacteria in the gi track to slow you down try some activia yogurt

Just keep drinking !

I had the same problem and my doctor told me to take Imodium and add vanilla activia Greek yogurt.

Hi June 16th for me, just wanted to join the conversation. My surgery has gone really well, I feel almost normal. But my scale hasn't budged for the last week. I guess I need to change things up. I went onto pureed foods yesterday, and WOW! How full did I feel after having about 2 teaspoons of butternut squash! I had to really slow it down to get in half a cup.

Help! I had surgery on the 3rd of june weighing in at 250lbs. A month later i'm at 236! Only 14 lbs in a month. My scale hasn't budged in 3 weeks. Im following my surgeons' instructions and he still gave me a stern talking to. I walk every day 1-4miles. Over 50 oz Water, Less than 20 carbs, less than 5 grams fat, ~600 cals, >100 g Protein a day. What's the story?

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
