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)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
