Diarrhea -help!

[May142013 74]

Do you all worry that the diarrhea will cause you to get dehydrated? I feel like more is going out than in!

I can't imagine going back to work with this?

I have had diarrhea most of the time since surgery April 15 so about 8 weeks. Lactose intolerance is one cause but most anything is a cause. It's better than being constipated but would prefer normal stools. I guess I can see from this thread that this is pretty common.

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 heard the same thing. Often surgery brings out issues that we didn't know were there like lactose intolerance.
