Caliblonde 25 Posted May 23, 2011 Thanks! I'm doing good today, am sipping sipping sipping! Had a mini melt down last night because I wasn't resting enough and tried to do too much my first day home. Today is better after a full night of sleep. One concern is that I'm having some serious diarrhea (sorry tmi!), like 8 times yesterday, once in the middle of the night, and once already this morning. I'm not sure if I need to call the surgeon's office or not. I know that they gave me something in the hospital to "get things moving", and they do their job well that's for sure! I took 3 immodium's yesterday (doctor told me it was ok at the hospital), and they haven't done a darn thing. I know the only thing that I have taken in has been liquid and liquids in = liquids out, but I'm concerned about dehydration. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meggiep 57 Posted May 23, 2011 Call your doctor- that is a lot - too much liquid out.I had it every day for about 10 days but only onece a day and now it has quited down. Increase your Water as much as you can lest you end up back in ER for fluids. Are you on full liquids? Could it be the dairy products? I would definitely let your doctor know.

Caliblonde 25 Posted May 24, 2011 It's quieted down today, I've only gone once this morning. I've been drinking clear fluids, no dairy at all. Yesterday I had Vitamin Water, apple juice, and water. Today I've had 1/2 of a Protein Shake, herbal tea, apple juice, and vitamin water. I'm not quite up to where I need to be with ounces in, but I'm working on it.
