Helpppp! I got Diarrhea



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on 10/19 I was fine the first 3 days but now when I drink fluids I get really bad diarrhea and my stomach is constantly hurting like I need to use the bathroom all the time. I don't know what to do. I called my doctor and he said that was normal. Did anyone feel this way?

Yes - same for me. Not so much bad pains - but diarrhea. Mine actually stopped today (now I'm afraid I'm going to be constipated). I had surgery the day before you! Be sure you are drinking alot.

Thanks for responding, oh okay im glad im not the only one and yes I'm constantly drinking fluids. The Isopure makes my diarrhea worse so I just went with the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored chicken broth.

I would think a full liquid diet would be the culprit, or maybe even a reaction to various pain meds and such. I had my gallbladder out 15 years ago and am prone to diarrhea very easily since then, I fully expect to have it after my sleeve surgery next Monday.

      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.
