I can not keep anything down. Tried switching to just protein shakes and still having issues.

Do you have a nutritionist or nurse you can call? Not sure if you were sleeved local or not. I am a week out today and have dealt with a lot of diarrhea, starting Saturday (of course) I'm calling my NUT today to see what she recommends. I thought the pain I was experiencing was normal until I went into labor at 3am on Saturday and proceeded to have 1 of 3 bouts of diarrhea that day and man I felt amazing afterwards lol. I really think mine is related to lactose.

I had it week 2 but now its more solid I am on week 3. I would call Dr. and ask advise.

Talked to NUT and she said I'm not getting in enough protein.

I will be 3 weeks out on Monday and in the last 4 days it has gotten bad. Early on post-op I was going every 3 days or so and of course it was liquid but that was expected. Now I am going 3-4 times a day with lots of cramping and chills when it comes on. Now it is more mucous- tinged. I am going to email the NUT, I haven't been meeting my goals (protein or water) and am worried that I will end up super dehydrated :-( Reno1128 did your NUT say the diarrhea should go away after you eat more protein? I have to go back to work on Monday and I can't be doing this there.

They told me it was because I was not meeting my protein intake. They said that protein is forst and foremost for your stomach to heal properly. So I have made sure to meet it and I have had no more problems.

I started my day at 0500 with a protein shake, and stopped my colace and have only had a problem early this morning twice. Now to figure out if it was the milk in my protein from the last few days, the lack of protein from the last few weeks, the colace or something else. BLAH but at least I am not rushing to the bathroom all the time!

If you are having diarrhea do not take the colace, or you will continue to have diarrhea, it is a stool softener and yours are soft enogh. Also try almond milk instead of dairy milk unless you have an allergy to nuts. If the diarrhea does not stop I would ask your Dr for help. Good luck .
