Sleeved Tuesday. Extreme diarrhea. Dr wants me to keep drinking and go to ER! What’s the point? Until I eat solids, I’ll go to ER?? This is BS! Before the surgery I asked this question and was told it will all work out! Any suggestions???

I would go to the ER. Extreme diarrhea seems abnormal. Especially considering you haven’t eaten anything solid for a few days maybe even weeks. Doesn’t sound right.

I had diarrhea for a couple of days after my surgery. I've never been diagnosed with IBS though, but my doctor said that I do have symptoms of it. Mine definitely wasn't extreme though. If your doctor thinks you should get checked out, you should. Don't want you to get dehydrated.

Did your go away? I still have a week 1/2 of liquids.

Yeah, I can't remember how long it lasted exactly, but it was only for like 2-5 days.

I have IBS. I was sleeved 10 days ago. I had diarrhea for the first 7 or so days but I was consistent in the way that I would go once every morning but it just happen to be diarrhea. After about a week, I've been having more solid movements. Still extremely soft but not diarrhea which I kind of expect because I'm on liquids only. My stomach/bowl movements are no worse off than they were before surgery so I'm not upset about it.

Thank you all for your response. Got the diarrhea to stop but think somehow I have a fissure. I’m taking my painkillers for the Fisssure and not for the surgery how crazy is that?

      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.
