Day 5 post op. Liquid in take not there



Recommended Posts

Today is 5 days from surgery for me. I'm getting maybe 25oz of liquid. I've had some broth and finally finished one Jello cup since Friday. My problem is I've had diarrhea since the hospital. It hasn't stopped and today's the worse. I feel like I'm in the bathroom every hour. Is this ok?

Ever heard of liquid in, liquid out? Yeah...that is what happens. If you are not eating anything with texture and are on a post liquid only diet, then just hang in there. Maybe add tasteless Fiber powder in your Protein shake? (Benefiber)

I was like that the first 3 days, then it subsided slowly. But I was trying to find something to eat. I have tried refried Beans (not a fan), I have tried scrambled eggs, like really watery and soft. That went okay, but only able to eat half an egg. Take you all day to eat one stinking egg! lol

Whatever you do, don't trust a fart right now. :D

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
