Thanks everyone and sorry for the misunderstanding! Was funny though!

I do think it is our body adjusting though as mentioned above ^^.

Yesterday I didn't go at all. Blessed relief. This morning I had a soft but formed (sorry) movement and I was pretty excited. This afternoon I had something that was basically just liquid. So it may be starting to get better but not quite there yet.

I'm sorry for the TMI but it is what it is.

[k8ee 131]

Hahaha mistysj! I totally understand. Mine is the same. Soft then liquid then that continues!!

[mistysj 1,940]

Sometimes I don't know what crawled up there and died!

[k8ee 131]

Lol! Don't get me started. And it's scary when you have to go at work too with other people around!!!!

[mistysj 1,940]

It is getting better for me. About 50/50. Anyone else? Tomorrow will be my 6th weigh in and the start of my 7th week.

[k8ee 131]

That's great news. Yeah I think mine is too. Thank goodness!

I'm almost 7 months out, and still have daily diarrhea.

Wow. What does your doctor say?

[doreen70 268]

It only happens in the morning, and usually only once. I actually have never brought it up-I had my gallbladder removed about 5 years ago and haven't had a normal bowel movement since.

[k8ee 131]

Oh god please don't tell me that it could last forever!

I had my gallbladder out years ago too, but I've only had the issues with diarrhea since being sleeved. I'm used to it by now (5 & 1/2 weeks post-op); the only time I really mind is when it happens at work. We don't have private bathrooms and it can be.....embarrassing. I've been known to run from one to the other looking for a completely empty restroom! Sadly I have even learned what the least populated times are and I try to time my snacks/lunch around that just in case. I figure it's a small price to pay

Get some sugar free METAMUCIL..... start with a teaspoon a day in your yogurt, or Water, but you will have to drink as fast as you can..... yogurt is better, it will BIND the runs...... so it is not so watery, if watery is a word.......... good luck to all of you,,,,,, been there on the ROCK side, and it is MISERABLE too!.

I had the same problem for a few weeks post op. The biggest change that I made was to eat really small amounts for the first few hours of the day. The other meals went well.

Today, I had a major episode, the first nasty one ever. I had a bit of tuna salad that I made with light mayo. About 15 minutes later, I was crampy and had to go. About 10 minutes after that, I felt incredibly ill. Went, sat, emptied. Immediately hot, sweat pouring down my face, hair soaked. I think I even passed out for a few minutes. Woke up, very weak, and drenched. Moved back to the living room and slept for 2 hours. Scary! 4 hours later, I feel great again. I do not want to ever go through that again.

My new dietitian thinks I am eating too much fat and dumping. She asked me to try to stick to 5 grams of fat or less per meal. She gave me a few other suggestions but said to try that first. I will let you know how it goes. And yes it is still going on 8 weeks out.
