Gas pain and diarrhea

Hi everyone. I was sleeved June 9, today is 1 week since surgery. Still having quite a bit of gas pain even after walking.... And usually 2 times a day have been having diarrhea. Is this normal? If it is how long does it last? Last thing is I feel so weak still. Pain is pretty much gone but I just feel light headed and weak. Wondering when will I feel like myself again. Thanks

    Liquid in, liquid out? Try looking at the ingredients of your protein as well, it may have something that doesn't agree with you.

    I was sleeved June 9th as well and have not had any diarrhea in fact BM's are few and far between. I think that if you are having diarrhea you need to be even extra careful not to become even more deh

What are you eating?

I had my sleeve on June 2, and on June 12 was given the go-ahead to start limited soft foods; everything seems to be good, but both Protein drinks I tried went immediately through me.

I was on liquids after surgery, is that what you are on?

I think that if you are having diarrhea you need to be even extra careful not to become even more dehydrated. Try and increase your Fluid intake. I still have gas pain even after walking so I think that is just going to be the case for a while.

I had lose BM almost 6 weeks...hope yu get better soon

I was on clear liquids for 5 days... Water , broth and g2 Gatorade. I started adding in 3 protein shakes a day made with skim milk over the weekend. Yesterday for the first time i ate a few spoons of Greek yogurt and some cottage cheese. I've been getting 60-65oz liquid in a day

Could very well be the shakes then, just like me. I intend to try it another time, just to be sure, and if I still have the runs from it, I guess I'll try to switch brands of the protein mix.

I was sleeved on June 2nd my Dr. had me doing clear liquids for a week, then full liquids on June 11 for a week and now since June 17 pureed Protein that is mostly liquid for two weeks. after that I can add fruit with it for another week. that is when I can move to soft food. So I pretty much have been eating mushy to liquid with chunks. I find that I have a problem with gas and diarrhea for the past 3 days. I contribute this to the hummus that I mixed with my fish to get more protein. I also have put 1% milk in my eggs and some of my food instead of the almond milk I had been using. I am lac intolerant, but I can eat some milk products. It could be that along with the whey it is too much!!. I really believe that because I am eating more regular food products my system is rebelling.

When I was on clear liquids, it was liquid in, liquid out several times a day. The second week was full liquids, same thing, different color... Now that I am on pureed, it's better, no gas but going every few days
