gastric bypass side effects

I started 10,000 Biotin immediately after surgery. Didn't prevent Hair loss at all, sorry to say.

Well hello out there I’m new at this....so please be patient with me. I’ve been approved for my GB. January 22 2020. I’m really excited it’s been a long journey over 2 years. When I first decided to go this route I did not realize it’s more then just losing weight. It is a complete spiritual transformation and I did not understand that until very recently. I had so much mental baggage and it wasn’t until I seemed professional help and sifted through some childhood and early adulthood stuff. Well I finally gained some stability and forgave, let go, started back my relationship with God my Farther and I’ve hit the ground running. I’m a new creature. My family is on board and I’m ready. I don’t know why today or now I’m just hoping this helps someone. Pray for me!

That's strange because pre and post liquid diets I had constipation. Still do if I don't take 3 stool softener liquid gel tabs a day.


Unfortunately, having the runs for 2 weeks during pre op is not the norm for many of us. As mentioned previously, we are constipated. Please don’t tell others that this is normal.

I was told that the diarrhea was because our bodies couldn't process Fat the same way

I think everyone's body is different and you should always contact your doctor if you feel something is not right FOR YOU. For instance, I have bile reflux so I literally don't remember the last time I had normal bathroom habits. Also, pain meds do not cause me Constipation.< br>
Everyone's normal is different.

I had the RNY bypass but my surgeon chose to make my stomach bigger than a pouch yet smaller than a sleeve and I'm glad because I didn't have any issues with hitting my liquid goals in from day 1 :)

I rarely have any hunger at all don't even think about food all day like I used to..

I’m sure that’s part of the case too, but I know I’m very restricted to fats (utilize my Nuts minimum) and not a Keto diet. Perhaps, many of us don’t have enough fats in our program

So, that's made me wonder, what side effects did you experience post-surgery that you wish someone had warned you about.

None.

I have side effects but they were all mentioned.

all I know is the vast majority of us deal with Constipation, not diarrhea. You may find some exceptions to that, of course, but constipation is more the norm. It's due to the high Protein diet plus some of the supplements some/most of us take, notably Iron and Calcium.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
