I got sleeved Friday and have had diarrhea ever since. Is this normal? I thought I would be constipated as per the general information I researched and others have posted. I don't get it. Only water and protein shakes since surgery.

I went through the same thing. I think it's because all we are taking in is liquid, so that is what comes out. Once I started on pureed foods it firmed up a bit.

Water in water out.

Yes, quite normal. Here in a little bit the constipation will set back in and then you will cycle back and forth before your body comes back to normal. For me, I noticed that if I drank my protein shakes too quickly I would get horrible "mud butt". Just wait until your constipation gets bad. For a while I was having just one BM every week. My longest time period w/out a BM was 2 1/2 weeks and when it hit I felt like I was birthing a calf, breech!
