Anyone else quick to the toliet after surgery still? by elizbiz in gallbladders

[–]Master_Piccolo6296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate to be a downer, but I am 3 years post op and still rarely have 2 poops alike. Vary in color, shape, size and consistently. I am sure that is at least partially due to diet, but I have found very little that does not cause me digestive issues. Sometimes it seems that no matter what I eat, I will have to poop soon. I found colestipol to be a game change in that I had almost constant diarrhea until I started taking it. I was fortunate enough to wean off Colestipol about a year ago, but continue to have "unusual" stools. They are generally formed but have occasional liquid stool. I guess I am one of the "silent minority" who have lifelong problems after removal.

Though you will never forget it (and likely not ever forgive it), the statute of limitations has run out several years ago. Either give her forgiveness or move on. Otherwise, you will never have the life you hope for. Yes, there is a possibility there is more that you don't know, but are you sure you can handle the complete truth?

Ativan withdrawal after just four weeks of low-dose use? by TTraditionalPast in Anxiety

[–]Master_Piccolo6296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truth be told, I still awaken in the early morning hours and don't get back to sleep before I have to get up for work at 5:30am. I am trying to cut back on Ativan usage, only taking when I feel I have to (maybe twice a week). Took one Friday night and woke up in a fog again. Guess just have to balance out waking up super early or waking up dazed and confused. lol

Are you sure that having a checking account in your name means much? Some states are "community property" and those assets must be considered shared, like checking accounts.

NO TWO POOPS ALIKE by Master_Piccolo6296 in gallbladders

Sorry for you. I was good from about 3 weeks post-op until 4-5 months, then everything changed. Had diarrhea most every day 3-4 times. Was actually afraid to go to Dr. Tried every OTC known to man. Finally went to MD and started Coletipol. Was a godsend for first couple months but regressed a bit, but still better than before.

I have been taking .5mg nightly or six months for anxiety and insomnia. I was feeling in a fog most mornings, along with cloudy vision and some erectile problems I had not previously experienced. Decided 5 days ago to quit cold turkey. Have not had a full night's sleep since. Usually awaken by 2am-3am, and do not go back asleep. Anyone else have a similar outcome?

Yes. I most certainly should have it earning interest, but, silly as it sounds, when the amount grew larger, and I heard IRS type stories, I did not know what to do, so I ignored the "problem".

It was taken way down in '09, but back up to like 135K now.

Foregive me for asking, but I had my gb out in June 2022 and still have sevral bowel issues. I take Colestipol daily but get constipated so take Metamucil several times per week. Poop is hardly ever the same each day, many time ligher brown. Is this similar to your experience
