Good morning you wonderful people! I had my surgery May 7, and I want to know did anyone experience the runs after returning home? I know it's tmi, but I haven't stopped going since I came home! Is anyone else going through this?

that is totally normal. I think I was like 2 weeks like that. I remember the first few days were really bad. Until you start eating solid food down the road things will get better. Hang in there and congrates!!

Make sure you get your Water in. You don't want to get dehydrated ( forgot to tell you ). ^_^

I am 4 weeks and a few days post op and I eat solid food, I have been getting the bubble guts almost everyday.......OMG, I wish it wasn't me!! Some mornings I can drink my Protein Shake and be just fine and then some mornings I drink my shake and a hr later I gotta use it bad.....I don't know what triggers it cause even with food, it happens..Im hoping and praying that my body has just got to get used to it and it stops soon....I take wipes, panties and extra clothes with me everyday in a overnight bag just in case, because I do not want an accident. Good luck

Some people become lactose intolerant after surgery. Maybe try switching your Protein Shake?

Remember if you are only taking in liquids you are only going to put out liquids.

I'm 12 days post op and I have the same problem. My husband just asked me today....you're going again? I haven't noticed any particular foods causing it but I am eating/drinking lots of milk products. The first few days were explosive but I feel like I can semi control it now....hold it long enough to get to a bathroom. ;-) it did get better when I started eating puréeds.

I did not drink milk for about 4 months after my surgery and if up to my doctor and nut, still would not. Anytime i drink milk or eat any kink of milk products i have to go really bad and end up with lots of gas. I love my yogurt and won't give that up even though it causes gas and bloating. Maybe back off the milk and see if that helps. Good luck.

I use the silk vanilla and mix it with the shakes, it's good and it doesn't send me! That's kinda getting in more Protein, because the milk is protein based! Good luck

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
