Sorry, I know it's gross but I'm on day 3 of mostly liquids. My dr said I could cheat with a bit of tuna or chicken so I've been having that as well. Ive been getting plenty of Water so I'm not dehydrated. It just keeps coming. I just feel awful in general, I'm tired, I'm HOT (have no idea why but I'm pouring sweat) and just feeling gross.

Is this how it will be post op? I feel like I'm going to pass out and I've had enough of the diarrhea.

This is a first for me maybe you should take to your dr and see what this is happening and maybe your body isnt used to the liquid diet how long do you have to be on it

I would try and skip the chicken and tuna for a few days and see if that helps. That is a lot to eat a few days post op and I noticed when I ate too much in the first few weeks,. I would sweat profusely.

Are you lactose intolerant? Maybe try switching to a non-dairy Protein Shake and see if that helps.

Everyone is different when it comes to tolerating the liquid diet Id guess. Age, gender, allergies, stomach flora, history, etc etc all have their contributions.

I spent 4 weeks pre op on liquids and then the typical several weeks of liquids post op. My poo was not liquid except for a couple incidents - but I know I have a history of tolerating about everything very well with few GI upsets or issues. It was hard. But I'd suppose it'd be harder with diarrhea!

Your trouble might have something to do with the brand of shakes your using - or maybe you're just sensitive and this is how it will be!? My clinic was always happy for me to reach out so I'd suggest as others to give them a call.

The same thing happened to me pre-op: liquid in, liquid out.

Post-op, I'm finding I'm more likely to be constipated than have diarrhea.

Same thing happened to me. I chalked it up to nerves/my IBS.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
