Ug, that sucks. Yes, one can technically develop lactose intolerance at any time, sleeved or not. But there are alot of causes of diarrhea, some more likely than others. I wouldn't just assume it is lactose intolerance. It could be a stomach bug.

Be sure to stay hydrated. You may want to see your doctor, too, if it isn't getting better.

I don't mean to poke fun when you are in a fragile state, but you have to get some bonus points for the most creative spelling of diarrhea EVAH! ;)

I hope you feel better soon. Now, seriously, go drink a lot of water!!

I was just thinking the same thing.

Thank for the spelling lesson. This phone has a mind of its own.

The diarrhea lasted from Friday evening to tuesday morning. I got a prescription from my doctor as the stuff from Walgreens was not working. Drinking Protein Shakes all week as the medication makes me dizzy and a little nauseated.

It is absolutely possible. People become lactose intolerant at all stages of life for many reasons. I am personally switching to hemp Proteins because I am a firm believer that dairy products are not good for the human body.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
