Hey guys sorry for the gross heading.

I'm a little concerned, I'm only 6 days post op. I had a small glass of milk last night which made me need the bathroom right away and this morning I just had my same usual shake that I've had for the past 3-4 mornings and its made me rush to the loo. I'm worried because a) this can't be normal and B) I'm not getting enough liquid anyway and everything I am having is coming out so quick

Again apologies for the gross post. But any advice would be great. Thank you

Until you start eating thicker foods, it will be loose. Its just coming out as it is going in. Means your system is clear and on track. Lol

Give your doc a call, maybe switch to lactaid milk. I hear a lot of people turn lactose intolerant for a few months after surgery. I just got sleeved on Monday so I don't try my milk things until lunch so I can be sent home if that goes well.

Milk did this to me in the early phases. So I switched to lactose free and have not had a problem since!

I was sleeved 6 days ago and have had terrible diarrhea since I got home from the hospital. I asked my doc about it at my one week post op visit and he said it was normal. I've not tried any milk yet, so thats not causing it. I really have to keep hydrated because I have it so often! Yuck!

It can come from the drink they give you for the leak test too. I'm 9 days post-op and it still happens to me once a day. It's normal. This too shall pass (slower and more solidly).

I had surgery 5 months ago. On a typical day, I have two cups of real coffee with a tsp of Splenda and about 2 TBSP of half and half. Almost immediately I have cramps as then diarrhea. Doesn't happen if I have a cup in the evening after work though.

If you are having diarrhea the best thing you can do for yourself is get some baby wipes. Use one for you and one to clean up the toilet seat/rim. The last thing you want is a UTI too.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
