When is diarrhea a concern ? tmi



Recommended Posts

Sorry for the tmi...

I was fine, great even! Tuesday I moved on to pureed, that day I had an egg(with miracle whip) . I was fine. Yesterday I had a cupcake sized portion of ricotta bake and under 1/2 cup potatoes (not together) today the only food I had was an egg (made as before).

I woke up today with a stomach ache and the poops. I walked around a bunch, sipped my Protein had some Water I felt much better. lunch time I had that egg and I have wanted to die ever since.

I'm literally peeing out the @ss

Should I be concerned? Or when should I be concerned ?

I expect loose stools, but this isn't that. This is literally liquid.< /p>

I'm really sorry.

But, any ideas?

Lucky for me 2 of my kids are graduating tomorrow . I will never forgive.myself if I miss it. But I won't be going more than 3 feet from the bathroom like thia.

I took Imodium because this happened to me one day. Turns out I can't eat anything with artificial sweeteners that end with the letters "ol". It's like a laxative for me! Check your ingredients on anything you're eating. sugar free pudding was my culprit. In any case take an Imodium. It totally worked! Hope you can enjoy graduation [emoji67]‍[emoji310]

Do you have gallbladder issues? This could be from eating fats and if your gallbladder isn't great it could freak out from that a bit. But I had Constipation, not diarrhea.

And I'd hate to have you use immodium and then become constipated! Ugh, this is a bad situation, I'm sorry. How are you feeling now?

Diarrhea should be taken seriously. You will become severely dehydrated quickly. You lose a lot of electrolytes also. If you don't get it under control quickly, call your doc.

Did you start a multi Vitamin? It could be a side affect of that.

I have had bowel movements since Tuesday night (surgery was Monday). In fact it was a doozy! Ever since then I have had at least three a day. So glad I am not constipated!

I have not had your experience.
I've heard the same advice about artificial sweeteners so go back and look at your labels. I would definitely be calling or emailing my Dr.

I hope you have a great graduation ceremony with your family

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
