Are you maybe having a lactose intolerance to your Protein shakes? It could be something you're eating (well, at this stage, drinking).

I'm about 4 1/2 months post-op and my problems swing the other way - - with the huge change in diet and decrease in overall food intake, I usually drink tea with senna in it to make sure I stay regular.

10 days you had dirreahea? thats an awful long time you could dehydrate you know. Call up your surgeon asap!

Ok I'm going to get way too graphic and nasty here, but if it's just "normal" diarrhea I'd attribute it to all the liquids you're eating and the lack of fiber. If it is snotty looking or has mucus in it, then I'd call your doctor.

Where are you at with surgery? Are you on all liquids? If so, liquid in, liquid out. And that's a good point about the shakes, Whey protein made me sick as a dog, I found that Zoic drinks don't make me sick and Pea protein works, but the taste is so, so. And depending on what you are eating, too many sugar free products can cause diarrhea. If I have just 1 too many sugar free candies, that makes me sick, so now I have 1 piece at the most a day.

My dr had me add benefiber packets to my liquid in the beginning so I wouldn't have such problems. You can buy them them, in the drugstore and you just mix them with your water or whatever liquid you want. It will not effect the flavor or taste of your beverage.
