After Surgery Diarrhea



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on 12/3. Had problems until yesterday when I started having diarrhea, and then again today. Called Dr office said no milk in Protein Shakes and take Imodium. Has anyone else had this problem? I have been drinking sugar free Gatorade and had some sugar free popsicles, tried Protein with Water but still gave diarrhea even with taking the Imodium.

liquid in, liquid out. It will go away when you start eating solid food or even puree.

I've had it since 11/19 my surgery date. On pureed and it's a bit better but still liquid. My doc was concerned yet. They recommended trying to get rid of milk as well, didn't seem to help one way or the other. They will just continue to monitor it.

Yep, liquid in liquid out. It will stop with more full liquids or purees.

      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! 😞
