Hello all! This is my 1st post here. I had vsg 5/31, stayed in the hospital a few days due to not tolerating any PO intake and intense nausea. I'm home on day 6 post op, and I am struggling to get all the liquids in. I was told to transition to full liquids but it has not been going well. The nausea is so intense with Protein Shakes I just haven't been able to stomach them. I have been living on popcicles, broth, Water, clear Protein, and some yogurt. I have also been having horrible diarrhea the past two days. Is this normal?! I am so wiped out, I just wish I was getting enough in so I could be on the mend!

Any advice is very appreciated!!

I recommend calling your surgeon's office ASAP. Horrible diarrhea is not normal, and you run the risk of dehydration/electrolyte imbalances due to it, especially if you can't tolerate enough fluids to recover. Good luck!

I can't eat anything sweetened with manitol or any sweeteners ending in "ol". They go right through me. Check your ingredients. The diarrhea will wipe you out and can dehydrate you. Try water with electrolytes.

      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...

        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.
