I'm so sorry this is going to sound gross but I had surgery Thursday 10/24 today is Monday and I have watery diarrhea every since saturday night. I have no fever but sometimes fell flushed. I can walk around and I can drink Water and Protein Shakes (started those today) without problem. The only concern was the watery bm.

Anyone else go through this if so how long did it last

I only had 8 ounces of milk today and I have had Water and juice on Friday Saturday and Sunday and this started Saturday night. Would lactose intolerance effect me over weekend when I didn't have milk?

I had this until I started more solid food -- I think it was pureed food. Just gotta think -- liquid in, liquid out. My NUT had said if it persisted that it could be lactose intolerance or an intolerance to the artificial sweeteners in shakes. She said it was ok to take immodium -- but I'm not recommending it because I think you should consult with your own surgeon and/or nutritionist. Above all -- stay hydrated.

Why don't you try lactaid pills? I've been taking them for years and the really help.

No if you're lactose intolerant it hits within minutes.

I will look that pill up and ask my doc if and when I can take it. Right now this sucks .... I can't even leave the house because I have 2 seconds to run to potty :(

I'm glad I'm not the only one... I mean I don't wish this on anyone but I'm glad I'm don't alone...

Had it for almost a month ?! Not uncommon when all you're taking in are liquids. Just keep yourself hydrated.

Gather close young grasshopper and I will tell you the 1st secret of WLS. "Never trust a fart!" :-P

The diarrhea stage is one I think we all go through, since you're basically living on liquids for several weeks.

It does clear up, but for about the 1st 3 months, I could never trust a fart. After that, I went through the Constipation phase and I had to learn go get in enough Fiber. And experienced the oh so lovely taste of Milk of Magnesia! :unsure: At about 9 months my new stomach adjusted and I'm back to normal.

Just being honest this happened to me and I felt good then BAM so sick. Turns out I caught CDiff If you don't know what it is please Google it. I never heard of it until it literally not kidding almost killed me. Please be careful it doesn't hurt to get checked. I thought it was my IBS acting up turns out that's now gone it was CDiff! All the best but please be careful with this.

Diarrhea was the only symptom no fever but once it got bad I did have abdominal pain. The diarrhea started like 4 days after I got home. For awhile I just kept going to the bathroom but I was still drinking my fluids fine but eventually that all stopped. The doctors can check with a simple Stoll sample the earlier the better unfortunately for my I spent 5 days in the hospital. Believe me I'm not trying to freak you out but the disease is serious so must share. The surgery wasn't the problem but since they pump you with all those antibiotics after surgery your body can't fight infections because you have no more bad bacteria. They should always give a probiotic with the antibiotics. Where you giving those?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
