  1. I've had the same issue the whole time and I'm 8 months out. And I get awful gas and diarrhea quite often. Please help! I'm sick of being sick all the timeL
  2. Yes it's all sugar free but the Popsicles didn't bug me. I thought I had to do sugar free and I was told that sugar makes you dump.
  3. I've been doing fiber and probiotics since I got home from surgery. The diarrhea started about 3 days after surgery and has not stopped. I had my gall bladder out years ago. I asked about a leak but I'm not in pain and I don't have a fever so they didn't think it was a leak.
  4. I am on some meds but I was on them before. I've been doing probiotics and fiber since I got home and I don't have a gall bladder anymore. I wish I knew what was going on! Ug! Oh and Greek yogurt goes straight through me!
  5. Just got all the results back. Everything is normal. I didn't take it as good news. The doctor said the white blood count could just mean inflammation. I was actually praying that something would come back positive so we could treat it and this would all go away.
  6. The only problem is I've been on mushy food for 2 weeks and soft food for 1 with no change. I'm nervous that I'll never be able to eat again!
  7. I'm exactly 5 weeks out with continued diarrhea. I can't take it anymore. I take immodium AD every 2-3 days, but as soon as it wears off I'm running to the bathroom. I've been on mushy food for two weeks and soft food for a week with no change. I've tried lactose free so it's not that. I go on vacation in two weeks to Europe and I'm dreading it. The doctor tested me for C Dif and it came back negative but said my white blood count was high so they are running more tests. I see no end in sight!

  9. I am four weeks out with constant diarrhea. They tested me for c dif but it came back negative. But my white blood count was high? Could this mean a leak? Or just an infection of some kind. I'm waiting to hear back from them. Everything I eat goes straight through me. Dairy, non-dairy, all protein shakes. I'm miserable.
  10. My stomach gurgles no matter what I eat and drink. And if I don't take Imodium AD I have diarrhea. It makes me nauseous. Im weak and tired. I'm three weeks out and starting to regret my decision.
  11. Ok just tried the GNC lean shakes and my stomach is going crazy! Ug! And I know if I wouldn't have taken Imodium AD it would be going straight through me! And they wouldn't take bake the case of Isopure because I drank one, feeling very discouraged.
  12. I have had a lot of gas too. So I figured I'm getting about 400 calories a day, no protein drinks, and all of week three I had no weight loss. I'm so weak and tired. I had diarrhea again today. It really doesn't matter what I eat. This has been the hardest thing I have ever done. Regretting my decision!
  13. I've tried the premier shakes. No go! I could drink all of them before my surgery without any problems.
  14. I haven't tried the GNC shakes yet. I'm running out of money! I wish you could buy just 1 and try it, but they only come in multi packs.
  15. I haven't tried the GNC shakes. I'm running out of money! I wish I could just buy one and try it, but they only come in multi packs.
  16. I can't drink them because they all upset my stomach and then go straight through me. It's awful! I've tried making them with almond milk. I've tried pretty much all the pre made kinds. I thought it was the dairy because yogurt and cream soups do the same thing. So I tried the almond milk and the Isopure. They all went right through me. I'm not getting hardly any calories and what I do get dumps immediately.
  17. I am 3 weeks post op and have tried every kind of protein shake but they all make my stomach gurgle and then diarrhea! I even just spent $90 on a bunch of Isopure drinks and the same problem! I can't eat protein yet. I never get even close to 60 grams a day. I'm tired. I'm weak. Help!
  18. I have tried every kind of protein shakes to, including spending $90 on Isopure, and still have diarrhea. Help! I'm 3 weeks out and this has been going on since day 1.
