I'm 7 weeks post op and last night I started having horrible cramping and diarrhea. It's almost 24 hours later and it's still there. I'm not sure what's going on...it didn't start until like 5 hours after I ate yesterday and now within an hour after eating I'm running to the bathroom ...I'm miserable!! Do you think this is dumping or a bug of some kind? I'll be calling my Dr in the morning if I still feel this way.

Oh so sorry to hear that. They told me to keep Imodium on hand. If it was dumping syndrome I think you would be having sweating & nausea & light headedness also. Good luck!

I hope you are feeling better and called you Doc. This seems weird but when I don't get enough fluids I either get constipated or diarrhea. So my Doc told me getting enough fluids will help either of those! Are you getting enough Water in? Anyways, hope you feel better now! :)

I saw my Dr yesterday....she put me back on liquids for the weekend and if not better by Monday she may do a scope to see if I have an ulcer or blockage...I'm having a rough time staying hydrated since this all started...this is the 4th day of misery [emoji26] The worst part is the severe cramping ...thank you for asking

I just got over a stomach bug where I had cramping and diarrhea. Lasted about 3 days and I lost 8 lbs!!! Could definately be a virus. Saw my doctor and she recommended fluids. No dairy. And if I could eat small bits of toast or rice. I'm pretty well back to normal but my restriction is super good now. I'm 16 months post op.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
