Ugh will the complications stop please. I'm doing so well on everything else but this is getting me down. I can't stay away from the bathroom the medicine is tearing me up and I'm not yet onto food to help with it. Did anyone else get this horrible infection after surgery?

That is terrible.  Take your medicine, rest and get well.

Ugh. That stinks. C Diff can be caught from any hospital stay. It is not unique to Gastric Bypass. Talk to your doctor if their is anything else you can eat under the cir****tances that is soft/full liquid. Greek Yogurt might help. Rest and take care of yourself.

Thanks I have to follow up with my gastro doc on Monday. I'm supposed to go back to work on Minday but I'm so tired. I will ask them if I might be able to progress a little bit ahead of their plan. I did have some yogurt, but it's hard to find one without fruit chunks in them.

thanks for the support.

Try straining the yogurt to get the chunks out or put it in a blender or food processor.

Light and Fit by Dannon are mostly blended, so no chunks.  Might that help?

Sorry you are going through that.  I hope it clears up soon.

Not with this surgery but I had it many moons ago.  I was miserable.  All I know is I was passing blood rectally a lot.  They misdiagnosed it to begin with and then they finally realized I had c-diff  from antibiotics I was taking for an ear infection.  Hope you feel better soon.

Nope. But I had a colleague die from it. Take your meds and if you get worse, tell your spouse NOW (while you are cognisant) that he/she should take you to the hospital if you get worse..even if you dont want to.

My colleague was a scientist, her hubby was an accountant. She was getting worse and worse but she didnt want to go to the hospital. He figured "She's the scientist". She is dead, colleagues still mourn her (3 years later), and some even BLAME HIM.

Dont goof around with c.diff.

I just don't know what worse is from what I read it seems mine is mild but it was getting better and now I have reverted back to pure liquid stools. But I do not have blood or pain like other people have mentioned.
