So I never received know whether to count to day of surgery since it was so early but I am either 11 or 12 days post-op.. 12/28 surgery. Anyway, I messed up my count and thought I could have pureed foods yesterday. Yay! Until I had to poop. I was reading my manual this afternoon and realized it was supposed to be this coming Sunday.

Anyway, I realized early that I am lactose intolerant now (hopefully this passes). The Protein I've been drinking for the last 3 days (Core Power) is lactose free but actual milk. It still have me the runs though. About 20 minutes or so after I finished about 4 ounces the tumny-rumbles started. That was yesterday and today. Well, before I read the manual I had pureed chicken and boiled green banana with curry gravy. I didn't think anything of it because this was food I have known my whole life; I'm Caribbean. Almost exactly 2 hours after the first bite I'm in the potty again. It started with the tummy rumbles.

What I'm worried about is the loose and watery poop. It's like peeing out of the wrong end. Is this what happens when you have food sensitives? Halp!

Those first few weeks were like Water works.

It will pass as your diet changes to chicken, beef, pork, tuna and other quality solid Protein sources.

Your body is going through a heap of changes right now.

It will get better and you will feel normal soon.

I had "liquid in, liquid out" until I started softs and solids. It is normal.

you're probably not lactose intolerant...unless you were before. The pooping situation post op will be....interesting for a while. I'm almost 6 months out and bathroom time is still an adventure.

just remember...liquid in, liquid out

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
