Diahrea and incontinense



Recommended Posts

Normally it is the opposite problem. Not going for days. I have to take a stool softener everyday.

Like the previous poster, Constipation is more of an issue for me.

I've been on a liquid diet now for almost a month. And still have close to a month to go. Biggest problem in this regard has without a doubt been Constipation. I was worried about the same thing but no such issue so far.

I had severe diarrhea for 4 weeks straight. It started with my pre op diet. For those 2 weeks and 2 weeks after my surgery I was in constant misery. Several times a day I almost didn't make it. At my 2 week post op Dr visit my doctor stopped the Protein shakes. From that day I never had diarrhea again. I am not lactose intolerant, I was having problems with the make up of the shakes.

I was extremely concerned with how severe it is. The instant something entered my mouth I was in the bathroom. I feel for you. I can't see your stats if you have any because I'm on my phone. Talk to your Dr.

I am 4 weeks post op and 100% better now. Good luck with finding what works for you. I know how you feel.

No problems for me. On my liquid diet I had diarrhoea, and after taking Gaviscon I had Constipation. Since then I poop normally every 2 days.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
