Day 3 Post Op And A Question

[Pheath 38]

I was to switch to full liquids today and bad some runny cream of wheat and I have diarrhea! Has anybody else had this problem post op?

Yes! It's just because you haven't had any type of solid food. It got to a point, for me, that my Protein Shakes were coming out as quickly as they were going in. =/ Obviously if it gets too bad that you are getting dehydrated or it doesn't subside once you get some more solid food in you, then call your doc.

I was so glad to have the runs after several days of Constipation post surgery last week. Now that I've moved onto soft foods, it has become more regular.
