nursesmall · July 1, 2011

Surgery was Monday June 27th, home now and feeling dehydrated and having a lot of back pain. Had a lot of diarrhea. anyone else with these kind of problems? Any solutions? Had a rough time with the Protein Drinks kept having N/V from them. Had to go to the other Clear Liquids and they are all causing diarrhea.

That is my surgery date. It is too soon for Protein drinks. You should still be on clear liquids.< /p>

Hey Nurse,

I had diarrhea probs the first week after my surgery as well, but it cleared up. I also had back pain that went away and then came back with a vengence. If your back pain does not go away, go to your doctor. Mine was a kidney infection and a bladder infection from the catheter during the surgery most likely. They gave me antibiotics for both and sent me home. I waited WAY too long to go in, and was in ridiculous pain with fever, chills, etc., so if the back pain continues please see your doctor before it gets out of hand like mine did. I was also on Protein drinks by the time I left the hospital and could eat phase II foods like Jello, Soups, Protein shakes, and puddings. Hope you feel better soon!!
