OMG, please tell me it will stop.

I am 6 days post op. Today I was able to partake of my Protein Shakes. They went in and immediately came out. I wasn't surprised because it happened before the surgery so I was expecting it. What I wasn't expecting was for everything I put in to come out just as fast. When should I expect to have a normal bowel movement?

It might be the type of shake you are using. Almost any powdered shake except powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury goes right through me and some pre-mixed do not work. I can use premier Protein vanilla premixed, but because the reaction can be so bad I am afraid to try any others.

Jij ,

I had the same problem. I could do the EAS carb control chocolate. I think it was because there was almost no suger. I tried a glass of Water downed apple juice and boy that was bad. I added puree last week and started softer stuff this week and it hasnt happened so I think its a mix of healing, adjusting, too much in the sleeve etc..

This stage ofcourse has started to have the opposite effect!!!!

Diarrhea is common in the beginning. Once you start moving up in the stages, you will most likely be back on here talking about Constipation. I had the case of rrhea once I started drinking more shakes.< /p>

      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.
