Imodium is what I would take but you might want to call your doc and ask him/ her

I read no imodium on here too when I was first sleeved. I asked my doc and he said it's fine. You can easily get dehydrated with diaherra. Please do ask your doc though.

I suspect people say no to imodium because it might slow weight loss?

I had this real bad too. My doc told me to take liquid codeine and that cleared it up. Hope this helps and you are feeling better soon. Xxx

Going through the same thing now - spoke w/ my doc today and he told me to take florastar (it's a probiotic) and when you have diarrhea to take an Imodium capsule. I'm 10 days post op now. Hope you feel better soon - I don't love this part

:(

Thank you for the suggestions...it is so tiring and right now i know I am not getting all my fluids in . It still hurts when liquid hits my stomach and im burping up Soup etc. hours after Ive eaten it. If it wasnt for the diarrhea and reflux this would be perfect. Im not hungry at all and i even lost my craving for nicotene....just pray that one sticks.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
