After I Eat (sadface)



Recommended Posts

Does it look the same going out as what went in?

If not, then you are seeing a prior meal's remains. It is a reflex in babies (and some adults) that after they eat, they go poo.

If it looks like it literally is the same food that you just ate, that needs to be brought up to your doctor.

Diarrhea and Constipation are both common for a while. (If that is the question).

I'm 3 weeks post-op and I basically have liquid poo coming out at least 3 times a day (occasionally it's more 'formed'). Based on everything I've read here I was expecting Constipation, so I guess I should be relieved about that. That said, I do sometimes have to be careful when I cough or sneeze. ;-)

After surgery, I became lactose intolerant. Anytime I drank milk or any product containing lactose, my stomach would hurt and it was a quick trip to the restroom with diarrhea. This condition cleared up after a couple months. I used Water rather than milk in my Protein Shakes as a result.

I'm worried about this as well, but I seem to be handling cheese and yogurt okay. I don't use milk (and haven't for years) - I make my shakes with almond or soy milk, although I've noticed that I have issues with soy now that I'm post-op. Unfortunately it's hard to find almond milk here in Japan - my local supermarket does have it, but in the tiny 200ml juice box size.

That's dumping! Make sure you're not eating too much sugar or carbs at one meal or drinking anything with your meal. Drink 30 mins after...dumping will go away eventually I'm 19 months post op and little makes me dump....sometimes wish I still did lol

Thank you@blondie66...I was thinking that it may have been dumping but I wasn't sure...I may be eating too much of those items ...but I'm doing this almost every meal even veggies ...I feel so depleted afterwards

I used to live on Premier Protein shakes with ice. At 8 weeks post op u can slowly start adding in regular solid foods if they cause u to dump hold off and try again in 2 - 4 weeks. Start with a very small portion. Your body just needs time to adjust. I couldn't eat a salad till after 1 year post op. It does get easier in time!! Also I eat yogurt all the time just make sure sugar is not high.

      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.

        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!
