Advice please
Your body is probably reacting to all that sugar. I would say you were experiencing dumping syndrome but it is unusual for it to last as long as you have been having problems.
Have you tried GasX? It usually helps with gas. I find the chewbles work well. Others like the GasX strips.
You should never drink that much undiluted apple juice, especially so early out. Diet juices would be a better choice but should not be consumed in excess due to caloric content and/or sugar alcohols.
What you need to be woring towards is a balance. How many grams of sugar are contained in one serving of that juice. It sounds like you had at least two servings. Try to keep sugar grams unde
I r 10 per serving right now.
What does your diet plan consist of at this point?

It seems a bit unlikely to me that it would still be giving you cramps today if you drank it on friday. But I guess it could be. If it is that, I don't think you'll end up in the hospital because there's not much you can do about a bad reaction to too much sugar except ride it out and wait for it to pass.
If the cramps aren't horrible and you aren't having any other symptoms, it's probably not something very serious. But nobody can really diagnose you online, of course, and there is always a chance however small that it is something pretty serious. If you're worried about it, go to the ER. If it would make you feel better to find out what it is, it's OK to go. (there is the possibility they won't be able to figure out what it is, but they can at least rule out certain serious problems)

I intended to say you should keep the sugar grams per serving under 10.

Otherwise, if the cramps are really bad, I would go to the ER.
Do you think maybe you just need to poop?

If you think you might need to poop, you could try taking something to help you poop. If you're having cramps, though, I would take something pretty gentle if you decide to do that. Some laxatives give you cramps for a little while. I use Miralax and it seems very gentle to me. (I'm not saying you should take anything, just that it might help if needing to poop is the problem).
You can try a heating pad on your tummy. That might help.
It's possible that it is period cramps if that's what it feels like, even though it's not really time. Some people get irregular cycles for a little while after surgery.
