I was supposed to have the sleeve done on Sept. 9, was on the very low calorie pre surgery diet, mostly shakes, bars and a few approved veggies. Was on it for 11 days, then death in family, cancelled.

I have over the last few weeks developed a mild pain, turning into a sharp pain occasionally (once ever other day maybe), started the diet again last Wednesday, by Saturday I'm having sharp pain very frequent and more intense.

Got into see GP on tuesday, had an ultrasound yesterday (the pain is under my ribs towards the side on my left side (up high)).

Dr. said maybe spleen, maybe constipation (up so high??) Those power bars are dense and i'm having three a day.

Well this morning at 5am i woke in bad pain, took a tramadol and did manage to fall back asleep. Called my gastric Dr.s office and am waiting for a reply.

I guess my question is has anyone experienced this? I searched "Protein overdose' "power bar side effects" and the symptom is diareah(sp).

I'm so scared i'm going to have to cancel again and I just don't want to go there, it was hard enough doing the pre surgery prep diet the second time around.

Really frustrated.
