I have really bad diarrhea :-( I tried calling my NUT, just waiting for a call back. Is anyone else experiencing this? I do NOT want to take the milk of magnesia since waste is still coming out, but I take a Multivitamin with Fiber in it. Can I add some to a Protein Shake?

Isn't MOM given as a laxative. This is causing you to have diarrhea. Yes you can have a Protein Shake without any problems. Hope your diarrhea goes away... :P

How far post-op are you? My PA told us to expect diarrhea starting a couple of days post-op, for about 2 weeks. That's exactly what happened to me.

yup. major diarrhea on Protein Shakes. I didn't tolerate them - bloating, sick, nausea-- but the whole time I had major dark nasty diarrhea.

Add some fiber to your diet like benefiber. I had this problem too then I added fiber which was suggested by my NUT and almond milk invade dairy was giving me any problems.

I'm 1 week post op and yup I am having this issue too. I figure it is a body reaction to surgery and the liquid diet. Hoping that as soon as soft foods are introduced back into the body, I will adjust. It is a bad side effect I will admit but hopefully a passing moment that won't come back!

I am only 4 days post op. I haven't actually drank any Protein Shakes yet. I know I need to. I will definitely be adding some benefiber though if it helps!! My bum doesn't hurt, but I've been running to the restroom quite frequently thinking I may have had an "accident." Urgh so embarrassing!!

I had a bad experience with my butt hurting after not calling about having diarrhea sooner. Get a hold on it now before it becomes difficult to sit and your miserable already because of post op pain. At least for me that was the case. Definitely start sipping some Protein. It will help in wound healing too! Good luck! I was sleeved 6/18. 2 weeks tomorrow.

I would wait a few weeks before taking that Vitamin... ask your doctor, it seems too soon.

I was sleeved on June 28 and had my first bm yesterday... And ever since I started I've had a few more ... All have even diarrhea... I have been drinking Protein since I got home. I have some clear Liquid Protein that I mix with Water and a little crystal light lemonade... And I've still got diarrhea...

And the sounds that my stomach has been making are insane!

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
