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

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
