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

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
