OK all..can I please ask if loose watery stools post sleeve is normal? They tested my stool for C-Diff and it was negative. I'm on full liquid diet. Everything I put into me comes right out. Sorry for the tmi. But wonder if anyone has had this too? How long will it last? Thanks

Hi all. I am 5 days post op and I have black tarry stool, usually after protein shakes. Anyone else experience this after surgery.

Oops. Didn't mean to reply with a question. Wrong thread.

Black tarry could mean a bleed. I would get it checked out michellec

Same thing. It took me about 5 days to go but since then it's been watery and it hits suddenly. Almost have to run in order to make it.

I had the same issue. My doctor said it is normal. Basically, "liquid in - liquid out". He said it would get better once I was on solid food and it did.
