I wouldn't worry too much unless its extreme. I had diarrhea for the first week but since I was only taking in liquids I figured it was pretty normal. Once I moved to full liquids and had stuff with a bit more substance it went away. And was replaced with Constipation. Much bigger problem as far as I'm concerned.

heres my update: i am also 6 days post op. I had a BM yesterday (finally!) It was painful. My main issue is still inner abdominal pain . Getting in and out of bed is very tough, coughing hurts. I take Lortab pain liquid every six hours no matter what. This is to prevent the pain from becoming unbearable. My body wakes up at around 5.5 hours to remind me to take the Lortab. That's a little scary.

Eating has been challenging. I take Protein powder in my Soups or a shake and have about 3 tbs. after that I'm coughing up and burping. Getting h20 has been hard. I try and "eat" 6x a day but it's more like 4 at best. I do walk everyday and have been doing little shopping outings etc but otherwise am so tired all the time.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
