    I tried really hard to eat very bland, liquidy foods, for at least two weeks after my surgery.  Broth, applesauce mashed potatoes, and nothing with dairy.  I made my mashed potatoes with chicken broth.  

    If it continues, you can request a medicine called Questran.  In the US anyway.

    The surgeon told me that if started having the post removal dump syndrome or runs, that this medicatio would help me a LOT.  I haven't had to take it yet as I'm constipated.  rolleyes
