I still have those, but anything that ends up IN the toilet doesn't bother me. Only had it end up NOT in the toilet once very early preop. Assuming you mean urgent, uncontrolled, and not ending up IN the toilet. Have you tried eating rice??? Make it yourself using more water than normal. I use 2.5 cups of water for 1 cup of rice, so that it doesn't hurt your stomach. Eat some a couple of times a day. My bms did not evolve into their current form until I was 7 or 8 months out. When did you have surgery??? I am sorry I can't keep everyone straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you overeat fats, you will have gas, pain and diarrhea. At least with me, this operates as a deterrent to eating fats much as dumping does with RNY patients. I hope that this will disappear in time because it makes eating in restaurants a bit of a challenge what with their penchant for fat in their cooking Best- Nick in Sage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2001 Report Share Posted November 7, 2001 Nick, As you get further out, you dont suffer from the gas from eating fats etc as much as you do now. That was true for me also. Im almost a year out now and can eat fats without any pain or gas etc....I just do overdo it...... Judie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2001 Report Share Posted November 7, 2001 Nick, The wonderfully greasy onion rings in Uno's Chicago Pizzaria or in Red Hot 'n Blue are fab! Best thing to clean out a case of hung chow (aka constipation). Just you wait, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait! Good times will roll real soon now! --Steve At 7:59 AM -0800 11/7/01, Nick wrote: >...Don't forget that, while we can eat more greasy stuff and still >lose weight, >that for at least the newer post-ops, there is another issue.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2001 Report Share Posted November 7, 2001 Hi Dawn - Here's an yucky question - Will I be likely to get over having those oil slicks?
