I'm 5 weeks Post Op and still cannot eat easily. My stomach is always turning after I eat and I usually have heartburn after eating. I'm taking daily omperazole.

Also I have developed a diarrhea for over a week already.

Is this normal or ok??

Some of it is normal depending on which foods you're having issues with. Have you tried a variety of different things? At 5 weeks I didn't have many issues with foods unless they were overly sweet or overly salty, but those are just taste issues, not digestive issues. If you are having issues with the foods on your plan, contact your surgical team and/or NUT and mention it to them. They may want to check you out to make sure everything is still good, or they may have some alternatives for you to try that may agree with you more.

Best of luck!

I had a very hard time at that point as well. My doctor told me if it doesn't sit right the first wait a couple of days and try again. I am post op 3 months and certain foods still give me diarrhea. Milk I can not do at all.. my doctor explained that I would have some problems with foods after the surgery do to having to learn how to eat again. Some foods still to this day if I talk about them it makes my stomach turn just thinking about them..

I am 4 weeks post op. Suffering with acid and fecal incontinence since my op. Was re-admitted for fainting and dehydration. Sent home after week 2. Had a follow-up consultation week 4. I was then told to experiment with food. If the problem does not go away by my next consult in 8 weeks time, he will schedule a conversion to r&y bypass. In the meantime I am on my own to figure it out. Very embarrassed and stay in my room most of the time. Bad gas smells and using up to 6 diapers a day. Although the weight is just falling off. Lost 6 kg in the last 11 days.
