I am 7 months out from my sleeve surgery. It's been a crazy road but I have no regrets. I started my journey with an infection in my liver which left me hospitalized for several weeks. I've overcome those issues and my liver functions are coming back. I'm down from 280 lbs. to 151 lbs. Gym everyday. 80 grams of protein. Healthy solid eating. Water water water... yet, I still wake up several days a week with liquid bowels which causes me great weakness and nausea... like I have to lay on the floor kinda weak. I'm taking in 'enough' fluid but I seem to dehydrate in a matter of minutes. I can't live like this- it's killing my positive vibe. I need suggestions on what to do to combat this issue. Thanks all!

Geez. Your stats sound amazing. But what is with your morning ritual??? What does your doctor say?

Maybe your doctor can suggest something. Wondering if there might be a lactose/wheat intolerance? Probably not if it's a first thing in the morning type of deal. Maybe too much Fiber? (Some of those Protein bars are killers...) Keep track of what you eat the evening before these episodes occur. Hopefully your doc. will have some ideas.

Feel better!

_{Check your gallbladder, is the loose stool accompanied w/ pain? Is the stool oily? I know that sounds gross but I'm experiecing this as well and found out I have to have my gallbladder out.}

I have liquid stools almost every day (really, since gallbladder removal 5 years ago!) but it never makes me feel weak. Annoyed, yes. Weak, no. Definitely check with your doctor, although I will say (sorry) that no doctor has been able to really help me with the "explodo poo" as we refer to it in my house.

When your Gallbladder is out explode poo is what you will have for awhile be prepared it's ugly.

. How did an infection in your kidneys start?

Everything I read says this happens after the surgery. My DR says no. I'm freaking out. I don't want to be chained to a bathroom

Are you on a probiotic? If so this may be the cause. I have read that this causes more gas and bloating but can cause the runs as well.

Interesting. I had my gallbladder out when I was sleeved on 4/23 and I haven't had liquid poops at all!

I had my gallbladder out years ago. In terms of the infection iny liver, it came as a result of the surgery. I ended ip with abscesses on the liver as well. I was weeks in the hospital on many antibiotics. My doctor said he had never seen it happen before... lucky me. I am taking a probiotic, so thanks for the tip. Also, I do eat protein bars. Perhaps I will make some adjustments based on the suggestions you all gave me and hope for the best. Thank you!!!

have you ever been tested for diabetes? are you going to powder room more than usual. there are a number of things that could be going on with you. i think sometimes we just have ingrained in us that we will not over eat, and it carries on. I have a friend tut's 3 years post op. I recently spent a week with her and i literally have to remind her to eat. me on the other hand., i can always find something to eat. you had this surgery to take care of you….so do just that….go to the doctor if this does not change soon. keep us posted.

M.G.

symptoms of C diff infection.

I just tested positive for c difficile 3 weeks post op. It's no joke. Been on meds since last Thursday and just starting to feel better. The meds make me very nauseous. I have lost 38 pounds since April 8th surgery.
