Day 6... Getting things down is going well... Struggling with liking protein shakes though. But managing. My problem is... Diarrhea. My goodness when does that ease up?

What goes in must come out I would think it should improve when you get to purée stage

I had my first bm at 10 days. At 9 weeks I've only had 4 bms.

It will ease up once you start eating more solid foods. If you are allowed thinned cream of wheat and/or grits that will help to "firm things up."

Also, alot of those Protein shakes are TERRIBLE! I have found one I LOVE though. Premier Protein (available at Sam's Club or Costco)

Comes in chocolate, vanilla and strawberry - very tasty! They are nutritional excellent (11 ozs, 160 calories, 30g protein, 5g of carbs, 1g sugar)

They are $18.88 for a 12 pack box. Give those a whirl, they will make a world of difference for you.

Take care!

I've had the same problem I was sleeved November 13th today is my first day without that issue. My surgeon suggested I start fiber chews which I did Monday two a day, to help firm things up and slow that issue down. I'm guessing it worked. Happiest I've been in a few days it was rough not being able to be Too far from a bathroom.

I just started using the gladiator protein from smoothie king. Yum!!! 45 grams of protein in each scoop. Just add Water and fruit. It is a little pricy @ $45 for a container that makes 20 servings but it stays with me all day. I add blueberries and strawberries and it is 180 cal.
