Diarrhea -help!

[saira 46]

Hey guys sorry for the gross heading.

I'm a little concerned, I'm only 6 days post op. I had a small glass of milk last night which made me need the bathroom right away and this morning I just had my same usual shake that I've had for the past 3-4 mornings and its made me rush to the loo. I'm worried because a) this can't be normal and I'm not getting enough liquid anyway and everything I am having is coming out so quick

Again apologies for the gross post. But any advice would be great. Thank you

Until you start eating thicker foods, it will be loose. Its just coming out as it is going in. Means your system is clear and on track. Lol

Give your doc a call, maybe switch to lactaid milk. I hear a lot of people turn lactose intolerant for a few months after surgery. I just got sleeved on Monday so I don't try my milk things until lunch so I can be sent home if that goes well.

I had the same thing start about 2 days after surgery but only for a few days, doc said it was normal

Ha, I'd just be thankful you can go. Wait a couple of weeks ????

Milk did this to me in the early phases. So I switched to lactose free and have not had a problem since!

I was sleeved 6 days ago and have had terrible diarrhea since I got home from the hospital. I asked my doc about it at my one week post op visit and he said it was normal. I've not tried any milk yet, so thats not causing it. I really have to keep hydrated because I have it so often! Yuck!

It can come from the drink they give you for the leak test too. I'm 9 days post-op and it still happens to me once a day. It's normal. This too shall pass (slower and more solidly).

I had surgery 5 months ago. On a typical day, I have two cups of real coffee with a tsp of Splenda and about 2 TBSP of half and half. Almost immediately I have cramps as then diarrhea. Doesn't happen if I have a cup in the evening after work though.

I had lactose issues right after surgery as well...seems to be better now. I'm 8 weeks out.

6 days post op here and killer Hershey squirts. I mean FOUL. No milk in me yet, so it's not that. I feel great, so I am sure it's normal.

My motto, though? Never trust a fart, it may be much more than expected.

If you are having diarrhea the best thing you can do for yourself is get some baby wipes. Use one for you and one to clean up the toilet seat/rim. The last thing you want is a UTI too.
