I'm not trying to be gross but since my 4th day I have been having diarrhea. All my Fluid is going out the other end and I can't fart with confidence. I'm not using laxatives at all. I'm doing everything to not get dehydrated. I have also since day 1 had a horrible time controlling the pain. All I hear from the hospital is drink more and no imodium. What do I do?

Some people go through this after surgery. Eventually your digestive tract will settle down and go back to normal. In the meantime, the hospital gave you very good advice -- lots of liquids, no immodium. Good luck!

It took 5 days for me to go and it was the same. Only I took miralax 2x. As soon as I ate yogurt and pudding it was solid. Are you eating anything but liquids yet?

I am, liquids are a huge part of everything but I have added yogurt and cream of anything Soup. I was hoping the dairy would slow it down. Not yet... I find it much easier to unplug myself rather than stop diarrhea. I have no veins left, everything was blown while I was in the hospital and I have an underlying condition that makes me an impossible stick so going into the hydration clinic is a horrible thought unless they give me a pic line. This so frustrating.

I had my sleeve on Nov 9 and I've only gone once since leaving the hospital. I started taking the Miralax yesterday. I'm having a lot of gas though. I will continue to take the Miralax until I have a BM. I am mainly on liquids and a little cream of wheat which is very watery.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
