A whole buncha #2's -- is this normal?



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I know I know - ewwww but I have to ask

I am 3 weeks post-op (tomorrow) and for the last 6 days or so I have had bad bouts of ... um..well.... diarrhea. UGH so gross!

I just need to know if this is normal. I am guessing it is because the basis of my diet since surgery has been mostly fluids with only very small meals of full fluids/soft foods.

Am I correct in thinking that this is all part of it and when I start eating more solid foods that this horrible disgusting issue will reside?

also, do you wanna be my friend?

haha

After RNY gastric bypass surgery, your stomach will no longer process fats and sugars. That can mean the fats and sugars in milk. I became lactose intolerant after surgery. Anytime I drank milk, it immediately led to an upset stomach and a trip to the bathroom. Some of the Protein shakes also contain lactose. This lactose intolerance condition went away after about two months.

I don't think it's abnormal in your case with your diet. Make sure you are getting your required Water in so it doesn't dehydrate you. At two months post op, I go about twice a week. If you're "moving", you're "losing" and that's our goal. It should decrease as you transition to more solid foods.

If you're having continuous diarrhea, you might want to talk with your surgeon. If it's just once in a while, I wouldn't worry. My stomach has been doing all kinds of weird things these last three weeks since my surgery. I think it's just getting used to its new configuration and healing. I was having a lot of diarrhea a week and a half ago and now the pendulum has swung the other direction to Constipation. Neither is very fun. :-/ I'm sure we'll find our rhythms soon, though!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
