I am just over 4 weeks post op. I had my sleeve done on the 7th Of April. Everything has been fab! I have had no problems eating, did the puree stage and now easily managing soft foods. Since Monday 4th of May I have had severe diarrhoea I did have a small curry on Saturday which was not particularly spicy in fact it was rather mild. I Just wondered if that could be the cause. I am not keeping anything inside me, it is just coming straight back out. My hubby is very worried that maybe something is wrong with me sleeve. I think it is bug and will speak to the doctor if I am still like it tomorrow.

I just wondered if anyone else has suffered with extreme diarrhoea and what the cause was and how you managed it please?

Could be completely unrelated to your sleeve. After all, I am sure you had bouts of diarrhea in the past as well, just like everyone else in the world. Definitely make sure you are keeping up with your liquids, since you are much more likely to get dehydrated. Try something like G2, since it has sodium in it that can help you retain more Water. I agree that if it persists for more than a couple of days, you should talk to a doctor, whether its related to your surgery or not. Because long-term, dehydration could become a very serious issue.

Thank you Jamie for you help, it is much appreciated. I am doing my best by putting as much Water inside me as I can drink. If I drink tea or juice my body doesn't like it one bit. My tummy does seem to be getting less gurgley and niggly, so I hope that it might be easing.

      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.
