Hello all!
I made it through my Sleeve beautifully. I was blessed very little pain only moderate nausea. My biggest issue has been chronic diarrhea. It just won't stop even water sets me off. It has now been 2 weeks and I am starting to feel a little dizzy/lightheaded which I think relates to all the diarrhea.
I haven't had much luck finding a protein shake post-op that works well for me. I have cut out all lactose but still get diarrhea even with sips of soy milk. I am beginning to get a little concerned because my intake is about 20-30 ounces of fluids a day with only 15-20 grams protein. Artificial sweetners are really gross now so anything other than water and I just have trouble getting it down.
Any suggestions to stop the diarrhea? I was told by my surgeon not to take Immodium so I am just trying to make it stop by avoiding things that trigger it but everything seems to trigger it!
Thanks all so much!
