I'm scared to put ANYTHING in my mouth right now... and I do believe I'm "EMPTY."

and I've seen bucket's o'bile in my DH's past experiences...

YES! I had this EXACT same thing until this morning! Are you taking any iron supplements? My doctor likes all menstruating women to take them and iron causes constipation, but when you're already having loose stool, it helps give some solidity going. But, yes, I know exactly what you mena and it smells terrible,too. Icky greenish stuff. Yuck

You feeling any better today sweetie?

I'm staying home from work today too... my tummy is still making horrible noises and --- well, I'm afraid to let "gas" go, not knowing if it's gas or a "product." Ugh.

I'm gonna try eating today - all I had yesterday was 1 pudding and 2 popsicles... and about 24 oz. water... Not good, I know!

Not sure if this is a flu bug (there is a lot of it going around here), or if I ate something I shouldn't have... so I'll go slow and steady re-introducing food...

Katie, what you describe is EXACTLY what I had at your current stage. If it doesn't improve today, my suggestion is to call the surgeon's office and ask them what you should take out of your eating program that might be triggering it. However, I think, with the re-introduction of food, you will feel better. My experience has been water in, water out.

Aww Katie,

Congrats on the weight loss! 11 lbs gone is fantastic! However, I'm feeling very sorry for you on how you're feeling right now. I hope you're improving and get some help soon via the doctor's office okaying your Imodium or other solution that will work for you.

Hugs,
Kimberly

I sent a note to the PA I met with on Tuesday about my diarrhea problem - and had a call this a.m.

The thought is this is related to something I ate... I could be lactose intolerant and the cottage cheese pushed me over the edge... I'm back to my SF Jello puddings with UNjury...

They did not recommend Immodium... just watch the food.... Whatever it was has emptied me out, so I'll start over now. Funny to not be hungry... I've had 130 calories in the past 30 hours... and feel no hunger whatsoever...
