Good morning you wonderful people! I had my surgery May 7, and I want to know did anyone experience the runs after returning home? I know it's tmi, but I haven't stopped going since I came home! Is anyone else going through this?

that is totally normal. I think I was like 2 weeks like that. I remember the first few days were really bad. Until you start eating solid food down the road things will get better. Hang in there and congrates!!

I am 4 weeks and a few days post op and I eat solid food, I have been getting the bubble guts almost everyday.......OMG, I wish it wasn't me!! Some mornings I can drink my Protein Shake and be just fine and then some mornings I drink my shake and a hr later I gotta use it bad.....I don't know what triggers it cause even with food, it happens..Im hoping and praying that my body has just got to get used to it and it stops soon....I take wipes, panties and extra clothes with me everyday in a overnight bag just in case, because I do not want an accident. Good luck

Some people become lactose intolerant after surgery. Maybe try switching your Protein Shake?

Remember if you are only taking in liquids you are only going to put out liquids.

I'm 12 days post op and I have the same problem. My husband just asked me today....you're going again? I haven't noticed any particular foods causing it but I am eating/drinking lots of milk products. The first few days were explosive but I feel like I can semi control it now....hold it long enough to get to a bathroom. ;-) it did get better when I started eating puréeds.

I did not drink milk for about 4 months after my surgery and if up to my doctor and nut, still would not. Anytime i drink milk or eat any kink of milk products i have to go really bad and end up with lots of gas. I love my yogurt and won't give that up even though it causes gas and bloating. Maybe back off the milk and see if that helps. Good luck.

I use the silk vanilla and mix it with the shakes, it's good and it doesn't send me! That's kinda getting in more Protein, because the milk is protein based! Good luck

      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.
