So I’m new here, I found this place on google when searching and I figured I would join and see if I can get some insight from people going through similar things as me.

i had gastric sleeve/hernia repair on Monday (5/18/2020) I started full liquid diet yesterday and I have noticed after every Protein Shake (premier protein) I get diarrhea within 20-30 minutes. Is this normal? Diarrhea didn’t start until I got home from hospital. I have only attempted to eat Jello and that was prior to bed last night so I don’t think it caused diarrhea. I am struggling with fluids and getting them down so the idea of having diarrhea too is stressing me out. Advice please?

i have definitely put a call into my doctor but no response yet.

Could be temporary lactose intolerance??? Some people seem to develop it after surgery.

I wasn't allowed Protein Shakes for the first week after my surgery. So your stomach may still just be adjusting... but, maybe try a plant based Protein to start off.

My Vitamins did that to me. My pcp said the ones I was taking were too much. Once I stopped them the issue also did.

I agree with this - we hear about that on bariatric forums fairly often.

Sleeved on 5-20 and Clear Liquids a week before. I’ve had the same thing even without a lactose based product. Not a lot of Fiber to firm up stool just yet, I think!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
