2 Weeks Out - Anoyone else struggle with digestive issues?

I had my surgery on March 29th & thankfully all went well. However, late in my second week I noticed that the juices and broths were no longer agreeing with me. I had to run to the bathroom shortly after drinking them.

Yesterday, I began pureed foods with the hope that my digestive issues would end. Unfortunately, I literally have to go to the bathroom after everything i eat & even after I drink Water. I felt discomfort in my intestinal area all day long.

I called the doctor on call at my surgeon's office & went over my symptoms. He said that some rare patients have a reaction to all the fluids & that my system is most likely trying to re-adjust. I'm keeping an eye on it. And I seem to feel a bit better today. Although, I'm still making way more trips to the bathroom than I'd like. The doctor also said I could take some immodium if it continues.

Did anyone else experience a similar issue? Do you have any insight from your personal experience that might help?

Thanks!

Well, that doesn't sound like fun. I hope you get more feedback and feel better very soon. As a sleeve pre-op, I have no experience, but wish you well. Congrats on a successful surgery. Sorry to hear about your uncomfortable digestive issues. It's sound like you and your doc are on top of things, so hopefully it will be resolved soon.

I started having issues with milk/lactose which I never had before. You might want to check what you're eating/drinking...
