Question:
I am two weeks post op and am having nausea and diarrhea.

I am on full liquids and feel like I am forcing food down my stomach. I have three meals, protein shake, and water each day. I change to lactaid because I thought maybe I am lactouse intolerant, but isn't helping. I just don't want to eat!! Any advice?    — sba1128 (posted on January 23, 2010)

Sounds like you may be eating too much. Try smaller amounts

my daughter had the nausea. It was the vitamins. I'm in my 3rd week (sleeve surgery) and the diarrhea is very bad??

At two weeks, it's probably just watery stools as opposed to diarrhea, because you're not eating solid foods. At least that's what my doctor said when I was at that phase.

At two weeks you should be only on liquids, to let your pouch heal...I was on liquids for 3 weeks, then I had refried beans, scrambled egg with cheese melted on it. Your pouch needs to heal and food right now will hurt...And when you do eat, chew until liquid and wait a minute or so to take then next bite.. Take it slow and let your pouch heal properly.. Good luck.
