Oh I'm so sorry you are having quite the time of it. OK some ???'s about the meds you are taking. Are you crushing them if they are pills? If not try that. Dumping isn't going potty. It's sweats, fatigue, shaking. If you are still having bathroom problems maybe it's a stomach/intestinal bug. Feel better soon. Jen

You sound like me at 1 month out. I was not really eating much solid food, mostly protein drinks and protein bars. I couldn't stay off the toilet. My doctor said it was the protein, so I really tried to get my protein source from other foods. The diarrhea stopped immediately. Like they say, liquid in, liquid out. See if that helps. Good luck!

thats what they did to me a week ago, after a major episode on thursday night, hospital stay, ultrasounds, I have gall stones and have to have my gallbladder removed. Apparently it is a side affect of our surgery. I was told Key indicators for gallstones are: 1. Female 2. Over 40 3. Over weight 4. Drastic weight loss. That describes me to a T. hopefully it can wait until after the first of the year. Best of luck

Serena- I sure hope they figure this out for you and help to ease the pain soon. Please don't drink while your stomach is healing. It's sooooo hard on the tummy. You've got to let the ulcer heal completely....that may take awhile. Keep us updated as to what happens. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Take care of you! Pam
