Diarrhea?!

[EspeciallyKK 12]

So I have had diarrhea ALL DAY, every HOUR and some nausea.

I was banded April 19 and have tolerated all post-op foods well. In the past two days, I have eaten: yogurt, skim milk, cottage cheese, apple sauce, some sliced turkey, tilapia, some potatoes, and some Cereal.

These are the same foods I have been eating for the past few weeks with no problems.

I thought maybe I just have some sort of bug, but am slightly worried. Anyone else have this issue? Are we allowed to have Pepto?

Well, I don't want to contradict your doctor's instructions, but I had the runs until I started phasing in solid food. It was only then that I got some relief, and even now I'll still get it if I eat a bunch of soft foods and drink Protein shakes.

Are you dehydrated possibly? It may just be your body's reaction to the food you're eating. Be sure you're getting your Water in. If it doesn't stop I'd call your doctor just to be sure.

I asked my doctor during my one week post op appointment because I was experiencing the same. He suggested I get some imodium if it didn't clear up in a couple days.

I am in my 3rd week of liquids and its been diarrhea allll along! I think its the shakes, the milk, a mix of everything. I do take immodium from time to time because it gets very disrupting. I am really not worried, I have aunts who are nurses and they had told me before the surgery that it would most probably happen:)

I got nauseous 3 days after being banded and not reacting well to a broth I had. Probably too much fat in it I guess. I couldn't sleep that night and called the doc in the morning. He prescribed some suppositories for the nausea. I was fine later the next day, but then came the diarrhea. I figured I was low on potassium and electrolytes. I started drinking more low-cal Gatorade (G2). That seemed to do the trick for me.
