Hello!!! First I’m sorry if the topic is kind of gross ? but I need to ask.

I’m on my 12 days post -op... and I’ve had like two or three episodes of diarrheas, it comes with pain, cramps, weakness. After all is gone I start to feel better... but basically when this happens my day is ruined because I feel bad and weak before the ?comes and after is gone the recovery with pedyalite?is long too.

Is this normal?

I had diarrhea the whole time I as on a liquid diet after my surgery and Dr said it was normal. Liquids in, Liquids out. And if you're on protein drinks, they might not be agreeing with your new tummy. I know the protein drink I had during pre op would not settle well post op. But now, I can drink it for meal replacement with no problem

Don't worry about talking about poop here... it's not TMI, it's normal, acceptable conversation around these parts, LOL odd right?

Yes, pre and post op diarrhea is normal. What surgery did you have btw? It could be a symptom of diet intolerances and not just the typical symptoms from a mainly liquid only diet.

Hopefully it passes soon for you.

What are you eating? It may be a symptom of what your body tolerates . At this stage it can be like figuring out what your stomach can and cannot eat

Thanks for your replies @johnsons13 @matt z @bostonwlkc
I had a gastric sleeve. Basically now I’m having shakes, egg whites, yogurt, milk cheese... all as recommended by the doctor, low fat.
I’m glad to know it’s normal... I was worried. So I just need to wait and adapt little by little to my new stomach?
