Hello everyone I need some help I am now 6 days out of gastric sleeve surgery and I've been experiencing some leg tightness I have been drinking a lot and walking I called the doctor last night and he said I just need to keep walking and drinking if I want to rule out blot clot I can go in for an ultrasound im scared to go back to the hospital, the bowl movements are excuse me but very wet and yellowish black I guess it's normal it's the dye coming out ... it was painful last night going to the bathroom....is there anyone else out there with these problems and what did you do ?

Get the test. Don't risk that you might have a clot.

Hi I still have the dark bowls or black and loose you can say, walking does help. My concern is when do you get the normal bowl movements. I'm getting ready to go to purée foods and my appetite is changing where I want to eat more and I'm afraid of over eating

Miralax, laxatives, MoM, doulax....any thing your dr okayd...try to keep your bowls moving. Once you get really constipated...it becomes very painful. I've had a lot of trouble with it. Good luck.

I was sleeved Monday, using leg compression machine that I got from surgeons office. Walking helps with legs so you don't get a clot & taking Miralax daily will help with the BM. Remember the liquid phase is the most difficult as your not "eating" solids that help you have good BM.

      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?

      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.
