Thanks so much for sharing this information! Makes me feel better about my choice!
Just saw this. If you are following the rules for loose stools and no help and experiencing bowel incontinence, see a gastroenterologist to be diagnosed and look at the rectal sphincter for any flaws.
Yes, we must remain mindful of all eating, but sometimes these things are not diet related but may be a structural problem. We are so used to blaming ourselves.
Kaopectate works very well. It is a clay that works better than Imodium for us.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Yes it's embarrassing I'll give you that, also it must be possible this isn't from your gastric bypass but some other kind of problem. Like the majority of people are lactose intolerant maybe try cutting milk, also Imodium lasts like six to eight hours which constipates you also I use gas x also.
Hi Denise and thank you. I am working with my doctor for my type 2 diabetes and things are starting to get better. Thank you for your message.
Are you a type 1 or type 2 diabetic...? Either way.. sounds like your insulin dose is not right for you...you might want to get guidance from your personal physician on reducing your dose or splitting your dose up for better control. not of diet, of insulin use...that will lead to better control and less appetite.
. I agree in keto diet as good place to start.If you adjust CARBS down, your insulin NEEDS will be lower. if your insulin is too high =you will be hungry.... You do not want your sugars really high or really low. even just after a meal. with good control your blood sugar should remain within 20 points of your fasting. consider adding cinnamon for insulin sensitivity.
I have been pre-diabetic since 1978. My dr told me to control my sugars or i would be insulin dependent in 5 years.since i hate needles it got my attention. I am still not on insulin.
Answer is :High protein and low carbs..COUNT all carbs...this works for me.
The sleeve alone is just another diet with a smaller stomach. And this is why it doesn't work for many people. The DS adds the other component, malabsorbtion. This is why the DS works for most people. You don't have to starve to lose weight as long as you are eating the right things. Because you won't absorb a lot of the calories you eat.
Make sure you know what you are getting and you are OK with it. SADI/Loop/Traditional DS. What is your CC? If the surgeon is not doing what you want, find a different surgeon. Learn about all this stuff. Research, research, research.
Hi I'm new here. I tried to use the search but didn't find my question .... Which is I have had the sleeve and planning on possibly doing a DS my surgeon doesn't make the sleeve smaller which I do still have restriction I feel i just eat smaller portions but them and hungry sooner then when I ate large portions less often anyways my question is with those who did not have their sleeve size made smaller did you feel like you had the same amount of hunger still? Thx!!
I would limit as much fat as possible PLUS use olive oil , avacado and real butter exclusively... reasoning I read research,,some of the oils that have been labeled Healthy ... seed oils,esp. have been found to turn into transfats when heated- esp in microwave.
Jeff, How are you doing now?
I am seeing this 45 days after your post. sounds like you could have a gastritis or obstruction.. my guess i s gastritis. i would go with liquid and cold proteins.. High protein , Very low sugar, l would make from scratch and use eggs/whey if you tolerate, and no artificial sweeteners. At the same time i would add in big doses of pre and pro biotcs to restore gut flora.( after rounds of antibiotics they will be in the basement and those good bacetria are needed for digestion.)..You can boost those enzymes by drinking buttermilk, eating natural yogurt, (look for one with few ingredients.) If you tolerate milk products. Other sources would be.Keifer, Kraut,and other fermented foods.
I have frequent gastritis and i have had intestinal twist 2 x.- which does obstruct. I use ice chips heavily and then follow with Rice only for 36 hours..I use 2-3 tablespoons for a meal and 3/4 cup a day. once to that level of tolerance... i add poached eggs.Prevacid 30 mg 2x a day is my dose for immediate care. it out performs all other medications for me.I purchase across the counter 15 mg capsules and take 2 .
