I'm sorry if this is TMI. I have had very loose stools the whole time. At first it was blamed on the swallow test drink. Then it was blamed on the liquid diet. But it persisted through purée and now that I'm on solids it's still happening twice or three times a day. Doesn't seem to matter what I eat. I'm actually getting less than 10 grams of Fiber a day. I'm afraid to have more because it might make it even worse. It's embarrassing as hell in public bathrooms.

This has really been my only unpleasant symptom. I have only been on solids for two days. Is there hope that this will stop? Should I be worried? I am not a worrier by default and so far I have just toughed it out. But come on. I envy those who have the other problem. At least you can just take something for that.

Maybe try some banana , apple sauce and if your allowed a little white rice. Something to bind you also you may look into a pro biotiic(ask your dr. about this). Wishing you luck !!!

I have had bananas and applesauce, and rice as part of a purée.

I've heard that some people discover after their sleeve, they have a lactase intolerance. Can you tell if there is any sort of pattern?

I can try to eliminate dairy but that sure makes it tough to get in my Protein. Hmm. By the way you are lactose intolerant if you lack the enzyme lactase.

I'd trade you your bowel problems for mine. For a day. I'd be far happier with loose stool than constipation.
