Help! I was sleeved on Monday 5/2 and have had diarrhea the past 2 days. I've read that constipation is normal due to all the protein we take in, but why am I having this? Is it normal??

Oh, yeah. Perfectly normal.

One of the first things I learned at online WLS forums was: Never, ever trust a fart!

Liquid in, liquid out. Normal. I have been drinking a protein shake daily since I was sleeved in '10 never had constipation issues.

@@VSGAnn2014 thank you! [emoji90][emoji40]

Thank you. I don't want to deal with either one. Lol

Wooooohoooooooooo...

Poo stories!!!

Enjoy the 'freedom' while you can...

The 'bound' period will come at some stage...

All part of the fun!!!

Does the "bound" period end? I'm 5 weeks post-op and not enjoying having to take a laxative to get "unbound".

I was severely constipated after the surgery. I drank some warm prune juice with miralax and that worked like a charm. Since then, I do not trust a fart. Man o' man. From one extreme to the other. I cannot wait to eat some solids.

Yes!! What Kinda said. Enjoy it while it lasts. Soon, you will be missing these days.

Thanks everyone! Hope it's better tomorrow! Gonna take a walk outside. Tired of being in the house. It's been raining since my surgery here in nj. Don't want any "accidents" while I'm out! [emoji15]

Anytime I go back to the liquid diet, which I do every so often to bust through a stall.....I experience diarrhea.

It just seems to be part of the deal.

You've been on liquids for a few weeks now and that's likely all it is.
