I had bypass on June 19th. I am still having diarrhea with everything I eat every day. No matter if I have yogart, Soup, eggs, etc I am so sick to my stomach. Even my Protein Drinks. Any suggestions? Will it pass with time?

It will pass. And then it will go the opposite. Constipation Station. Somebody on here once told me, "Liquid in. liquid Out." It made since to me. My doctor said to make sure I wasn't having sugary drinks because that will give you the runs. Try some Immodium.

I’ll give you my “go to” suggestion. If you are drinking whey Protein shakes/drinks, stop. Try using plant based shakes only for a day or do. See if this clears it up. I switched to Pea based on day 9 or 10 of diarrhea and it immediately solved the problem! This advice was given to me by someone here after my surgeon and primary tested me for everything and couldn’t stop it! It has helped others. Start here. If it doesn’t help, I’m out of info. ;)

Oh, stay on plant based until your body can handle whey again. I’m still very sensitive and my surgery was in May!
Every now and then I sneak a whey Protein Bar in and my body gets bloated but I can keep it in. 😁

It is.

Not all Protein is created equal. You want to make sure the protein you are consuming is an Isolate. If it doesn't say "Whey Isolate" or "whatever Isolate" it's a lower quality protein. Whey Isolates filter out almost all of the lactose which is why most people don't have issues with that type of Whey.

      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?
