Hello and thank you for your posts. I had the sleeve o4 days ago. Trying to follow the rules to a “T”, and for the most part, doing it. However, I have constant diarrhea. Any advice? Thank you!

Are you using protein shakes? If so, you may have a temporary dairy/lactose intolerance. Perhaps try using non dairy protein shakes and see how you go.

Welcome to our bariatric community. Congratulations on having your VSG and good luck on your WLS journey.

Welcome & congratulations. People seem to experience diarrhoea or constipation after surgery. It could be the lactose in your protein shakes or it could just be your post surgical experience. I was advised to have Imodium & a laxative/stool softener on hand post surgery. I had a shocking diarrhoea attack in hospital than it was constipation city.

If it persists & doesn’t seem to be reducing give your surgeon a call. Also if you can look for a lactose free plant based protein shake just in case it is the lactose.

All the best.
