Diahrea anyone?

I have been experiencing a bout of diahrea for the last 9 days. Controlled somewhat by daily imodium, but it returns if i do not take the imodium. I am wondering if anyone who is this far out of surgery has experienced a similar spontaneous onset. I have lost over 7 pounds in 9 days and I know that is not healthy weight loss. Anyone?

I am so sorry to hear about your issue. I can only offer you support but not any info. I ,myself, only have issues with constipation. Good luck finding an answer. Julie S. 265/157.5/135 5'3

HI Susan, Congrats on the WL, however..... I'd contact your Doc right away. Under the best of cir****tances 9 days of diahrea is not a good thing. For us, it could be worse, you can become dehydrated so easily. I would definintely call to make sure they don't want to see you to check things out! Wising you continuted success & the best of luck!

Hi Susan, I went through a similar bout a few months ago. It went away on it's own, but I didn't lose that much weight. I would contact your doctor and/or surgeon right away and at least ask them what they think. Make sure you are replacing all of the lost fluids so that you don't get dehydrated. Let us know what you find out!! Take care!

Hi Susan, I have the same reaction when I ate chinese food this week. I am definitely staying away from that. I hope it stops soon. Mine only lasted about a day. I lost 4 pounds though this week. Call your doc. Hugs, Christine

I am having the same thing.. On my third day of it. Bout decided this is not what I have eaten or a stomach bug. I put an email in to my doc. Bowel obstructions commonly start wtih diarrhea. Let us know what you find out, as I am on the same journey with you. Love, Stacey 276/154/139
