Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 Hi all!! I am 2 weeks post-op and I do not have diarrhea at all. In fact, I move my bowels once a day in the morning and it normal. Will I still lose weight? I can eat pretty much whatever I want with no adverse reaction and it feels as if I never had the surgery at all. The only thing that I notice is that I can't eat as much as I used to. Has this happend to anyone else? Thanks! a Lap BPD/DS 4*6*01 Dr Herron Mount Sinai Hospital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having read for days and days everything that has been going wrong for so many on this list, the good news about insurance approval also got me scared $#!^less that it is now real. Then, I read your comments, and can only hope for the same smooth journey for myself. Best, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2001 Report Share Posted April 20, 2001 a, I am one week out and feel the same way. I eat a lot less, but everything I have tried so far (baked fish, chicken salad, baked potato, etc) has gone down well. I don't have diarrhea either however my stool is a bit softer. I go once in the morning and sometimes have a little gas at night but that is it. I guess everyone is different! BTW, thanks for the post, I was worried I was doing something wrong.
