Anyone else with this problem? 2 weeks post op tomorrow *embarrassing*

I began having a lot more rumblings in my stomach yesterday which has been followed by diarrhea. It's been over 24 hours with no relief. Everything goes right through me. No stomachache or anything. I'm worried about dehydration. Tried a small amount of Imodium with no results. I'm not sure if I'm over worrying or if I should call the doctor.

Drink as much as you can of Water so you don't have any problems with dehydration.

It's possible that you could be reacting to dairy in your shakes.

People have been known to have that problem after surgery.

Again check in with your doctor so they can tell you what to do to combat the diarrhea.

Shortly after surgery, I experienced the same problem. It turns out that I became lactose intolerant. I began using lactose free Protein shakes and avoided any dairy products and that worked for me. A few months later, I discovered that I was no longer lactose intolerant.

Yes. Became lactose intolerant about two weeks post op. Lasted for about six weeks. Felt horrible.

I talked to my surgeon and he thinks things will be better after I get on puréed food. (Which is tomorrow after my two week follow up). I'm ready, I feel tired with no real calories coming in.

I think we will all have that problem from time to time. I had it week 2, and just had it for an entire week ( beginning month 4).
