I was wondering has anyone experienced non stop diarrhea? I know it's too much TMI but I'm like sick. I've lost close to 30 pounds in less than a month and I'm not sure if that's from having all those problems with my stools. If you have any advice please help.

Call your Dr you could have c diff. It's an infection in the go tract that causes severe diarrhea. Hope you feel better soon.

Gi tract. Gotta love auto correct lol

I had the same issue, really nasty and painful, 5 days I dealt with that very severely.

I had become Lactose intolerant since I started the program but then it grew into something more to do with all dairy,I got sleeved 7/14, I bought the lactose free Protein powder and drink and lactaid cottage cheese and milk,that stuff was destroying me! The fifth day I switched over to egg white powder and stopped all dairy products, then I took metamucil at the advice of my dietitian to tighten things up, it all worked! knocked it down to about one third of the problem.

you can try Benefiber, this has no flavor so it can be mixed with anything.

I saw my surgen today,He said I am doing great,healing up nicely,my stomach is growling and moaning because I need to eat,so have at it,follow stage 4 and go easy, then he said he's not worried about me at all and that he'll see me in 5 months and see my nutritionist soon, I call her and she said have a hard boiled egg or some ground turkey in chicken broth, I went with the egg. I'll tell you it was the best damn egg I ever had! I went for a second and couldn't finish it,Hahaha

But definitely call your Dr.and or Nutritionist to be safe,this is what we pay them for.

Best wishes

      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.
