Loose stools?

[terri82much 80]

Ok I know a lot of people have mentioned that they have issues with Constipation but I am the opposite! Sometimes pure liquid!!!

Is this "normal" with the sleeve? I'm 8 weeks out and am on normal foods and have my protien and Water intake where it should be. Just not sure if I should be following up or enjoy the benefits of it. 37 pounds down! before surgery it wasn't unusual to go a couple of days between BM's but I go almost everyday now and usually more than once!

Could it have anything to do with my stomach acid? Maybe my prescription needs to be increased...

Anyone else having this issue?

In the beginning, I had a few like that; but as the food "bulks" up, so will your routine. Just be ready for constipation... a benefit from eating right?!?! Crazy, huh?

If it continues even when you are on solids, talk to your doctor. It could be a food intolerance like lactose intolerance, or it could be something else, like impaired gall bladder function. If it ends up being the latter, there are medications you can take to clear it right up. Ask your doctor about bile acid diarrhea.

I was the same way until I was able to hit my Water goal consistently. Once I began hitting that mine went away...but I had loose all watery stools for a good 8/9 weeks total-from pre op until it stopped around week 6-7ish post op.

Not unusual at all. My dr wasnt concerned by it ad long as I hit my Protein and water goals each day.
