Awful constant diarrhea



Recommended Posts

I'm not a medical professional so I can't really offer an opinion, but I will say that if that were happening to me, I would be asking my doctor for guidance or reassurance. I know a fair amount of people do have diarrhea for a few weeks after surgery (I didn't), but "constant" and "green" would be enough to get me on the phone with my doctor. Good luck!

I have had diarhea the whole time too. I was sleeved on sept 25, only once a day. I think its because of all the liquids that we eat instead of solid food. I am on full liquids until tomorrow then pureed. So I am thinking it might be better after that. I would rather be loose than constipated. Heres hoping, also if your Protein that your taking at one shot is more than 30 grams they say that can cause diahrea. My nutritionist told me that. Good luck to you!

Call your doctor. I got watery green diarrhea at 6 weeks post and it turned out to be a C. Diff infection. Took 6 weeks of antibiotics and finally a fecal transplant to get rid of. And if it's not an infection, your doctor can Rx a treatment plan. Long term diarrhea is never good and you can get dehydrated easily (I needed IV fluids 3 times when I had it)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
