Not Tolerating Puree

[Sherry77 166]

I am sorry if this subject has already come up. I tried performing a search and was unsuccessful. I am 16 days post -op. I was advised it was ok to start adding purée on day 14. I find that things are going right through me. My stools are almost all liquid. Has anyone else experienced this? I feel trapped in my home for fear I will need to use the bathroom. I am going to call my doc when they open, but thought you all might have some advice or experience with this. I am continuing to drink Fluid, as I don't want dehydration to become an issue.

I did this! But I figured out it wasn't the puréed foods. It was any milk based products. I had lactose intolerance after my procedure. So I switched to soy based products and did much better. I wasn't even able to tolerate milk products in general. Now that I am 4 months out, I can tolerate very small amounts of Lactaid and some cheeses. Also, remember puréed foods don't have much Fiber, and fiber can bulk up your stool. Once I personally tried non milk based foods..my diarrhea stopped. Also, it never hurts to talk to your dietitian for advice. That's what she is there for! I hope this helped!
