I haven't had any issues so far with my sleeve (tomorrow is 2 weeks out) but as if the last 4 days or so, I have had some ummmm decently intense diarrhea. Only once a day, and otherwise I feel pretty great. I am having a good recovery. I am drinking a ton of water, exercising, taking my vitamins, getting all of my protein, eating under 800 calories, and sticking to my doctor's post surgery diet. 

A day on on plan for me at this point:

1 cup of coffee, Splenda, and a tablespoon of half n half

breakfast: protein shake (water, ice, doctor advised protein powder)

lunch: eggface's famous ricotta bake with blended turkey meatballs 1/3 cup

dinner: 2 deli slices and very soft cheese

Any ideas?

My guess is the lactose in the half and half. I had a little in my coffee yesterday and about 2 hours later I was in the bathroom. I have read that lactose intolerance is common for VSG.

Jealous, I can't have coffee for two more weeks!! I did the ricotta bake today finally! It was great.... I did 1/2 ricotta and 1/2 cottage cheese to get more protein in it and it tasted good!

I did straight cottage cheese in mine! Yum indeed. Lasagna guts.

Good to know! I'm sure I'll make it again this weekend and I'll do all cottage cheese!

One suggestion, press the cottage cheese into a strainer to get rid of excess liquid. Mine is kind of soupy.

I am 10 days post op And started with diarrhea last night after I had some SF pudding. Not sure what up with that but it happened again after some pudding today. It was like pure water. Ugh!
