Warning TMI question

I had my RNY on 10/26/15. So, I am now 10 days out and have had diarrhea every day, multiple times a day. Did anyone else have this? I thought that it could be milk and have eliminated it without success. All I have had this morning is water and Isopure apple melon. Is this normal? 

Most people are constipated post-RNY, but for some (like me), diarrhea becomes the new norm.  You will need to become more alert to signs of dehydration (dizzy, muscle cramps, skin tenting, heart palpitations) and talk to your doctor if it gets too excessive.  

Or you could have a tummy bug.

Also some vitamins can lead to diarrhea.  Magnesium Oxide (which is useless as a supplement but useful as a laxative) is a common culprit.

Diarrhea was the norm for me for about 2 weeks post op. I figured it was because I wasn't taking in any solids yet and it just took that long for everything to settle down and get all that gas finally out of my system. I don't think it's too out of the ordinary that you are having diarrhea but give your nurse a call. Gratz on your surgery :)

I had the same issue for several days post op. It didn't last long. Now I take miralax daily to stay regular. 

Liquid in... liquid out.  Diarrhea is fairly common after surgery for this reason.  

You still could be lactose intolerant.  Check your protein powder and make sure it contains whey isolate only.  If the label says it has whey concentrate, it has lactose in it.  I would give the "no lactose" idea a little more time.  Some times it takes a few days to feel the benefit of going lactose free.

I had diarrhea in the beginning but then ended up after starting to eat more foods with constipation, Im wishing for the diarrhea back lol.  I have terrible constipation now.

Yes had diarrhea daily until I started on solids....

I had my surgery on 10/27/2015, and have had this issue as well. I did have 2, blissful days, without it, but it came right back. I just started solid, but soft foods, and it's still there. 

Has yours slowed down any?
