Feeling miserable

[JamieLogical 8,713]

I was sleeved on 8.7 and had to try different things after surgery. My pre-op diet was sugar free CIB with Protein five times per day. Since the surgery I have been having watery stools. I switched from the sugar free CIB with whey Protein to Fairlife milk. That seemed to help. I had a sugar free pudding last night and had the watery stools again this morning. I'm beginning to wonder if I can't tolerate the sugar free products like I used to. Has anyone experienced that?

Other than the stool issue I feel great. Stopped pain meds on day 2 post-op, driving and running errands, walked at the gym yesterday and today for over 30 minutes.

Thanks!

Do the sugar-free products you are trying have sugar alcohols in them? A lot of people experience a laxative effect from those. I'd say, start reading ingredient lists and paying close attention to how you feel after eating specific types of artificial sweeteners to try to figure out if it's all sugar substitutes or only specific types that are causing the problem.
