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.

      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.

      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.
