I had green pee for the longest time after surgery....almost a week. The surgeon said it was indeed the blue dye that is used.

*perk....Grape crystal light??? share share share...we get lemonaid, tea and fruit punch here...I would love to try some grape.

Green poop...yeah...suck side effect, but look at it this way, it's like a cheap colonic without the back pressure and embarassing position and process.

I say grape crystal light, but I buy my groceries at Walmart and I often get the "cheaper verson" of the crystal light. So maybe there is no grape crystal light, but it is the good values version. But there is no difference in the two brands in my opinion.

They use blue dye during surgery to look for leaks. And the diarrhea is probably from not eating solid food

This seems like a good explanation. Since this is an older post, how has this turned out for you? Mine went away after a week....the green pee that is. Harder to shake some of other green stuff.

Here I thought I was the only one with this problem. (Well except perhaps my 2 year old son)

Mine is normal consistency but a lovely Shamrock Green. I finally figured out mine was due to the cheap store brand sugar free chocolate pudding I buy sometimes. Doesn't happen with the Jello Brand just the store brand. Will last for days after I eat it.

What am I doing with chocolate pudding? I like to mix my Protein powder with the sugar free pudding mix for a tasty Protein mix. Then stir in some chunky Peanut Butter and freeze it until consistency of soft serve ice cream. YUMMY! Will also substitute much of the milk in the recipe with Cottage cheese that I have run through a blender until it's the consistency of sour cream (to boost the overall protein and lower the carbs). Sounds odd but tastes nice and creamy once mixed with the pudding. Makes it taste like I used whole milk.

OK this probably wasn't the best board to be discussing food on.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
