Issues After Gb Surgery- 4 Months Ago... Posted: 03-31-06 15:04pm
Hi,
previous to my surgery in november I kept
myself on a low fat diet which helped
tremendously and I lost 20 pounds as a
result. I missed all those good foods so
I decided about a month ago I was going to
ease it back into eating some of my
favorite things. Now this is my
problem-i have been having terrible
cramping and the urge to go to the
bathroom but not always able. It seems
it happens maybe 1/2 hour after I eat I
get terrible pains worse then when I had
my gb.
I went to my gastro dr and I had a catscan
and everything came back normal (which is
a good thing) so he suggested to go back
on my low fat diet and check with him in
about 2 weeks.
Has anyone had a problem like this? I
did notice however that prior to and after
surgery that I would have a bowel movement
every other day but prior to going on the
low fat diet I was going to the bathroom
up to 3 times in the morning and it was
pretty excruciating so the low fat
improved things there.
So again, I was wondering if anyone is
having discomfort after surgery like the
cramping and urge to go but can't? The
cramping is every day...
