I understand that you have been experiencing extreme diarrhea for the past few days, and it seems to be happening every time you eat. It's important to note that several things, including changes in diet, medication side effects, or an underlying medical condition, can cause diarrhea. I recommend talking to your surgeon about this issue as soon as possible, as they may want to do some tests or adjust your diet to help alleviate your symptoms. In the meantime, you may try avoiding foods known to cause diarrhea, such as high-fiber foods, spicy foods, and foods high in sugar. Drinking plenty of Water and other clear fluids can also help to prevent dehydration. And it's important to note that if these symptoms persist or you have any other concerning symptoms, please seek immediate medical attention.

Just a thought but did they remove your gall bladder when they found your stone and if so how long ago? Diarrhoea can be a side effect of having your gall removed. (Takes time for the body to get used to not having gall to regulate the acid entering your stomach.) Mine persisted for about two months after my surgery though not as severe as yours. My surgeon advised if it persisted or got worse I was to contact him.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
