Gas pain and diarrhea

[jackie_2 4]

Hi everyone. I was sleeved June 9, today is 1 week since surgery. Still having quite a bit of gas pain even after walking.... And usually 2 times a day have been having diarrhea. Is this normal? If it is how long does it last? Last thing is I feel so weak still. Pain is pretty much gone but I just feel light headed and weak. Wondering when will I feel like myself again. Thanks

What are you eating?

I had my sleeve on June 2, and on June 12 was given the go-ahead to start limited soft foods; everything seems to be good, but both Protein drinks I tried went immediately through me.

I was on liquids after surgery, is that what you are on?

liquid in, liquid out? Try looking at the ingredients of your Protein as well, it may have something that doesn't agree with you.

I was sleeved June 9th as well and have not had any diarrhea in fact BM's are few and far between. I think that if you are having diarrhea you need to be even extra careful not to become even more dehydrated. Try and increase your Fluid intake. I still have gas pain even after walking so I think that is just going to be the case for a while.

I was on Clear Liquids for 5 days... Water , broth and g2 Gatorade. I started adding in 3 Protein Shakes a day made with skim milk over the weekend. Yesterday for the first time i ate a few spoons of Greek yogurt and some cottage cheese. I've been getting 60-65oz liquid in a day

Could very well be the shakes then, just like me. I intend to try it another time, just to be sure, and if I still have the runs from it, I guess I'll try to switch brands of the protein mix.

I was sleeved on June 2nd my Dr. had me doing clear liquids for a week, then full liquids on June 11 for a week and now since June 17 pureed Protein that is mostly liquid for two weeks. after that I can add fruit with it for another week. that is when I can move to soft food. So I pretty much have been eating mushy to liquid with chunks. I find that I have a problem with gas and diarrhea for the past 3 days. I contribute this to the hummus that I mixed with my fish to get more Protein. I also have put 1% milk in my eggs and some of my food instead of the almond milk I had been using. I am lac intolerant, but I can eat some milk products. It could be that along with the whey it is too much!!. I really believe that because I am eating more regular food products my system is rebelling.

When I was on clear liquids, it was liquid in, liquid out several times a day. The second week was full liquids, same thing, different color... Now that I am on pureed, it's better, no gas but going every few days

If you have been cleared, try putting bananas in a blender with your shakes. Bananas will stop the diarrhea.
