Diarrhea following RNY - 1st week post op



Recommended Posts

I have had non stop diarrhea since two days after I came home from the hospital. I had been constipated for 9 days and thought I'd have a really tough time the first time my bowels moved, but boy was I wrong. I just had the urge to go and bam! It was a case of the squirts that hasn't stopped now for three days....and I'm only on Clear Liquids and 6 ounces of Protein Drink.

Is this normal??

Are we allowed to take Immodium?

I’ve been the same. I took one Imodium the first day I had the runs. Then I switched to kaopectate liquid bc it went down easier. Good luck!

Hiya

I was squirting like a firehose for the first couple of weeks! “Fart with follow-through” - NEVER trust a RNY fart!

Now, I get a bit of warning, and the first half of a movement has substance, with a liquid finish - so clear progress!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
