I think it is prob normal. I had similar issues for a week or so after surgery. If you had a liquid diet prior to surgery and now your system is healing I would almost think it to be expected.

I am still having the diarrhea and can't keep anything down. I called the doctors today and am being tested for a viral. A little is typical but not prolonged like mine. I was also given a script.

I have this and I am approx. 10 weeks out. It started as a virus and I'm on two weeks of pure diahrea. Ended up in the hospital over the weekend dehydrated. Everything I take in is coming out. I feel a little better but I'm very concerned that I'm still pooping Water.

I am sorry to hear that Lexi. I have a prescription now and have to get a sample over to the lab. Now the funny part I have not gone in a few hours lol. So maybe virus is done or will hit me later.

My diahrea is back like Water today. Not sure why it came bsck but I could cry. It had been gone since like Monday. If it lasts through the weekend I will be calling my dr on monday to possibly do a stool sample. (I hope they take liquid) LOL

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
