Diarrhea -help!

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

I have had diarrhea most of the time since surgery April 15 so about 8 weeks. Lactose intolerance is one cause but most anything is a cause. It's better than being constipated but would prefer normal stools. I guess I can see from this thread that this is pretty common.

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.

I heard the same thing. Often surgery brings out issues that we didn't know were there like lactose intolerance.
