I was wondering has anyone experienced non stop diarrhea? I know it's too much TMI but I'm like sick. I've lost close to 30 pounds in less than a month and I'm not sure if that's from having all those problems with my stools. If you have any advice please help.

Call your Dr you could have c diff. It's an infection in the go tract that causes severe diarrhea. Hope you feel better soon.

Gi tract. Gotta love auto correct lol

I had the same issue, really nasty and painful, 5 days I dealt with that very severely.

I had become Lactose intolerant since I started the program but then it grew into something more to do with all dairy,I got sleeved 7/14, I bought the lactose free Protein powder and drink and lactaid cottage cheese and milk,that stuff was destroying me! The fifth day I switched over to egg white powder and stopped all dairy products, then I took metamucil at the advice of my dietitian to tighten things up, it all worked! knocked it down to about one third of the problem.

you can try Benefiber, this has no flavor so it can be mixed with anything.

I saw my surgen today,He said I am doing great,healing up nicely,my stomach is growling and moaning because I need to eat,so have at it,follow stage 4 and go easy, then he said he's not worried about me at all and that he'll see me in 5 months and see my nutritionist soon, I call her and she said have a hard boiled egg or some ground turkey in chicken broth, I went with the egg. I'll tell you it was the best damn egg I ever had! I went for a second and couldn't finish it,Hahaha

But definitely call your Dr.and or Nutritionist to be safe,this is what we pay them for.

Best wishes

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
