TMI 😁😳

Did anyone else have a diarrhea problem the days following surgery? I had my sleeve on Monday and started having diarrhea Wednesday evening and it's still happening! Sorry for the TmI but just wondering if it's normal 😷

LOL, I am the opposite.   I hadn't had a BM since Sunday.  I think both constipation and diarrhea are normal since we are consuming no real solids.  I have read many posts about "liquid in, liquid out".  I am worried that it will hit me when I start fuller liquids.

Lol well I guess either one kinda sucks, but at least I've got something coming out 😁

not all that uncommon. I think it is usually due to liquid in=liquid out. things will swing the opposite way soon, don't worry :D

I was the exact opposite. I didn't have a BM until exactly two weeks after surgery. But when i did it was loose, so I think it is a normal thing and nothing to worry about! :)

The gastrograffin they make you drink for the leak test can give you very loose stools. I didnt have such luck though. Took me 7 days to have a bm postop. I'm 10days out and I started being able to go again once I stopped the Zofran which binds you up bad. But still I've been constipated since a couple days into the preop diet. I wish I had the opposite problem lol.

I was sleeved on 3/4 and on 3/8 the diarrhea kicked in. It was so bad I had to turn in a sample to rule out c-diff. After that was completed I was told I could take Imodium AD but that hasn't helped and now I feel like I have a cement brick in my belly. Any time I ingest a protein product I'm running to the bathroom. My two week post up isn't for 5 more days so I'm just doing broth and water for now.
