I I got sleeved march 18th and finally was able to go to the bathroom yesterday. Now today I been up for maybe three hours and I've gone 4 times already ( diarrhea) is this normal? And if so why is this happening?

[millergirl314 168]

Happened to me too, pretty normal as long as there's no blood in your stools. It happens cuz we removed the majority of our stomach so everything is in shock esp our digestive system. It'll get better :-)

[millergirl314 168]

Make sure you're drinking your fluids though cuz you can get dehydrated easily

[ArixS 28]

Thank you! I feel much better. No blood but I will keep an eye on that.

If you are ever worried too you can always call the nurses for your doctor, they don't mind :-)

Get used to Constipation or diarrhea. I believe it will be one or the other the rest of my life.

liquids in liquids out as they say...

Have you tried milk yet? I got diarrhea after trying it after surgery. Now I can't tolerate milk (not even lactose free).

Just keep your liquids up and you'll be fine! Oddly enough I'd rather have diarrhea over Constipation.

I also had diahrea the 2nd and third day, nurse told me to never trust a fart(so true) it went away after day 4, this is day 6, low grade temp, no pain meds milk making me a little nauseous so Protein shakes and carnation Breakfast with milk not settling well. Needing a lot of rest but also 60 years old so waited a little late in life to do this, walking and sipping still the key. One of they lucky ones to sleep on my side as soon as I went home and didn't get a drain just 5 small incisions. Are you giving yourself shots to prevent blood clots. Go back to surgeon on the first so guess i'll be taking them until then at least, good thing they are pretty painless.
