Not to be gross.. Does anyone have lots of diarrhea 6 days after surgery? Is it unusual?



Recommended Posts

I havent had my sleeve yet but Ive talked to my dietitian about it and it could be from all the liquids your ingesting and no Fiber, your body doesnt have anything with substance to you so basically what your taking in ) liquids) is coming out :P lol Then again theres other people who have the opp problem and cant use the bathroom.... I rather have the runs any day then dealing with that haha good luck hope this helped a little, it should clear itself up once you start to introduce fiber/solids into your diet :)

I am 5 months out and have loose stools 1-2 times a day. Never have a regular turd. Don't be offended with the word LOL. And when I have to go there had better be a place within 2 minutes. I carry a Change of clothes with me in the car and a towel and wash cloth. There have been some bad accidents.

Thank you fabulous I'm just getting a little worried. I've been drinking and eating a little yogurt. I also put my Protein Powder in a small iced coffee at 6am with no problem. I also had Jello and Gatorade and ice pops

McKee does it matter what you eat? That seems like a lot to deal with 5 months out..I hope it goes away when I can eat more solids

10 days out and YES problems with "the runs". I wasn't able to go at all the first four days and was so uncomfortable I had to take milk of mag. But it seems that my body has decided to go @ 2 am for the past few days looking forward to the end of this phase.

My husband and I both had our sleeves on 4/12, so we are post op day #12. We both continue having loose stools. Since I had his bowels to compare to, it didn't startle me. We are increasing our solid intake per our doctor, but it hasn't resolved quite yet. I did have a couple of days where it stopped all together, but the doctor encouraged us to start a laxative ASAP if that happens. Good luck!

Totally normal. You'll go from this "phase" to being constipated in a few weeks.

Yep, had that for the first 4-5 weeks, thought it would never end. Went from that to Constipation. Between the two, I'll take constipation any day!

I am 5 mos out and I had the runs all the time until one month ago. Turned out I had become lactose intolerant and even though I cut out all diary the runs continued. Turned out my Protein powder had milk in it. Since I changed to lactose free protein powder I am now regular.

Good-luck

I am 6 months out and I still have issues. I only go once a week and when I do its first hard to go then its like waterfalls. Very frustrating especially when at work. I hope it ends soon can't wait to be regular. But still grateful for the weight loss.

I'm 5 days out and I am so worried about my BMs. I was constipated since the day after surgery. Yesterday I took a collace and use a small amount of fiber suppliment. Within a few hours, I had diarrhea and now it won't stop. I feel very weak and fatigued after using the bathroom and havong diarrhea. I've gone so much that I feel like I may be dehyderating myself. I am on liquid diet for 2 weeks. Does anyone know if I can have pre-made Protein Shakes on liquid diet. I'm not sure if I can only have those clear Protein Drinks which are disgusting or if I can have chocolate Protein shakes in this phase.

Hi, I'm also 5days out and on a liquid diet. My bowels are not solid but it isn't a constant diarrhea all day. I was told to only concentrate on my Water intake until my post op appointment on Thursday so I've only had popsicles, broth, Jello, in small amounts and lots of water. You may want to call your dr to make sure everything is OK because you don't want to get dehydrated. Feel better soon.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
