Hello! I had my sleeve done last wens. I am feeling fine and able to drink my liquids now the only exception is liquid in, liquid out. It seems that I have a lot of diarrhea. I have had it since saturday. Yesterday I went 6 times. Its not alot, most is gas, but it still comes out. Is this normal?

    Not weird, not gross, and yes, normal.

    It's all normal! Constipation, gas diarrhea all normal the first couple weeks, don't worry it gets better!

    I have asked this same question and this is the 1st time I have seen a different answer!
    I have only heard people talk about being constipated but Not diarrhea.
    I didn't see how anyone wasn't w/ ALL the liquids and soft foods...I would think more would!

    I had a lot of constipation. The nutritionist told me that with the sever reduction in calories my body was holding on to everything. Great! That's one thing I didn't need to hold on to. But everything is moving well now.

    Thanks everyone. Considering this is day 4 of it and it hasnt eased up, I am going to go a few more days and if it doesnt, call my doctor. It seems instant. LIke i drink something and within 30 minutes im going to the bathroom.

    Just a thought, are you using milk products? I heard a lot of people become lactose intolerant post-op. I was before surgery and what you described sounds like lactose intolerance.
