Miss Rachel 25 Posted November 15, 2016 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? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted November 15, 2016 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ssze1109 163 Posted November 15, 2016 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? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you eating anything but liquids yet? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App 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. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slscott78 2 Posted November 15, 2016 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.
