James Marusek 5,244 Posted May 14, 2014 Well this is my first post here's my problem I had gastric bypass April 29 I went into the hospital weighting 262 came out two days later weighting 274. After 2 weeks I now weight 260 is this normal I feel like I am failing somewhere I do not believe I am eating incorrectly my body warns me and I have had the foaming once and diarrhea several times I read and some people have lost so much. Should I be worried Jodav212 When I went into the hospital, I also gained weight. They pumped so much fluids in me through the I.V.s and that was the cause. This weight came off quickly after I returned home. I also had diarrhea soon after I returned home. It turned out that I became lactose intolerant right after surgery. I cut out the milk and milk products and the diarrhea disappeared. A couple months after surgery the lactose intolerance problem went away. If this is your problem then make sure that your Protein drink says lactose free. Two weeks out - I wouldn't worry. Just follow the regiment and make sure you are doing your walking and drinking plenty of Water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
