Hi. I was sleeved on 4/14 so I am just over a week out. I had my one week appointment yesterday and every thing was fine. I feel fine, no pain, no problems. I get my fluids down and my protein in. Sorry if this is TMI, but I just went to the bathroom. I had diarrhea. It was dark pink/red and turneed the toilet water pink. If it happens again, I will definitely call the surgeon. My question is, I just had Torani Sugar free Rasberry syrup for the first time today mixed in some runny cream of rice. I have never had it before. Could that be the source of the color? Just wanted to ask and see if anyone else uses Torani and has had this happen to them. Thanks!

I would think what you ate would definitely have a bearing on whatever comes out so to speak.

All of Dr. Aceves patients have to drink apple juice dyed blue for one of the leak tests.

Everyone is quite shocked when they go potty and it's Peacock Blue.

If the color was blood, it's going to be black if it's from your stomach or bowel. Bright red blood would be from much lower down the digestive tract, in the rectum or anus. Sorry I can't tell you if Torani Raspberry tints poop pink--I can say that the Black Cherry doesn't tint anything in the bowl pink.

I would bet on the syrup but if it happens again go to the doc.

Years ago we had some bright red pain killer syrup, I think it was codeine and something else. Well I ended up like you with bright red stools and panicked before I figured out the source. I stopped taking that crap right away and took the rest to a disposal site to be destroyed. Sure scared me for a few minutes.

What's wrong with me i had my surgery on the 14th and although i have not eaten much, Protein shakes , broth and liqueds i have made a couple mistakes with Peanut Butter and half a cookie but iam back on track but what worried me is sorry for TMI but i have not pooped since the day before my surgery!!!!!!! it has been 9 days my doctors said it is normal but that was the after-care doctor waiting to speak to my surgeon! IS THIS NORMAL SHOULD I BE WORRIED? i have taken a laxative and need to buy a stool softne anyone can comment on this, would be greatly appreciated!

For the first week I had a lot of red liquid jello and I had the exact same situation in the bathroom! It happened more than once. Not sure how much of the syrup you used but I can tell you that it was a normal thing for me that first week. It's completely gone now and I'm not drinking the jello anymore.
