Question - Diarrhea :(

[miss679 39]

Hi all - sorry for the graphic nature of this post. I had what seemed like diarrhea today. No pain or discomfort - just liquid. I called the doctor and he said since I am 4 days post op and on a liquid diet then bowel movements can be liquid and not to worry. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this?

The antibiotic I was prescribed after surgery gave me issues. Once I finished taking it, no problems and I was still on a liquid diet.< /p>

Yup, you're perfectly normal! The main thing is to keep yourself hydrated. You may want to get some sugar free. Gatorade to help keep your electrolytes balanced. If it keeps up though, definitely give your doctor another call.

Thanks so much!!

I had it during the first couple of weeks after surgery as well. The explosive kind!! It lasted about 2-3 days, and then stopped. It was different than any diarrhea I'D ever experienced.

Yes indeed! That is what I experienced as well. At least there was no pain or discomfort. Thanks for responding!!

I didn't have any pain, either. Now, I struggle with the opposite issue

Yes, liquids in, liquids out! sorry, but it's a fact! My best to you, stay close to a bathroom! :ph34r:

Yes. Definitely had that! Now, I wish I had just a little of that regularity.

Oh ya. Had them real bad and didn't always make into the bathroom. It is gross but life. Now I take meds to go. Weird!!

7 days post op and today was the first time I had to go........ normal but surprised I didn't have other issues. Feel better soon!

First time I actually used the throne in that way (without any additional help) was yesterday, and my surgery was on July 20th, so nine days later. It wasn't diarrhea, it was normal but YELLOW... No color at all. I was weirded out. LoL

I would have given my kingdom for some diarrhea I had the other problem and almost 6 months later often still do.

I miss the "regular" days. I realize we aren't eating as much (and/or just liquid) but I miss the good, healthy regularity... SO today I added a heaping tablespoon of ground Flax seed to my Protein Shake (that I blend with only Almond Milk in a Magic Bullet) and I'm hoping that doing this in every Protein shake will quickly get me back to a healthy regular. Fingers crossed!
