diahrrea after surgery?????

[ScentsyLady 1]

Hi all! Has anyone had diahrrea after the gas started moving? I have it after I drink my Protein Drinks and after my liquid meds. My stomach starts gurgling and away we go to the races! Has anyone else had this and how long did it last? I don't want to get dehydrated. I feel fine otherwise. I was sleeved the 16 th and it started after I came home on Thursday. I was told to expect some, but this is fricking rediculous! Thanks to any who have a reply for me.

I had diarrhea really bad after surgery, but they told me not to worry unless it was more than 5 times per day. Mine subsided as I started to add more things into my diet. Keep sipping!

Thanks! I didn't want to call the Dr for something dumb. I had some actual chicken broth and that went fine. I think it will be ok as you said when I can add something else in. Thank you for your reply. It put my mind more at ease.

I was sleeved on the 16th also and having the same problem. When passing gas I have to go to the bathroom 'to be safe' cuz I just don't know if it's going to be gas or diahrrea. The nurse told me to expect this so luckily I was forewarned.

It will last as long as you are on a liquid/pureed diet. Once you start having soft foods, it will subside. My surgeon said that unless I was going like 7 or 8 times a day to not worry about it.

I don't know if you can actually count it as it is off and on after each Protein drink. broth and Jello don't seem to cause the gurgling and diahrrea. It is making me lose weight and I worry I will get dehydrated. I am drinking all the time but I still worry. Thanks for your reply.

I'd call the Dr. or nutritionist - you might be lactose intolerant following surgery. I am. There are varying levels. I can tolerate whey Protein, yogurt, and hard cheeses, but not milk or cottage cheese. I switched to soy milk in my Protein drinks and felt better. I still had diarrhea the first couple of weeks, but I had less gas and I went poo less often.

Thanks! I did start to take something yesterday. I let it go for a few days to let my body get rid of the anesthesia. I am taking liquid loperamide. I am taking a half dose as I want to slow it down not stop it.I sure don't want to be stopped up either. I am also waiting til I see how things go in the mornings too. Hope this helps someone else!

I had diarrhea the second day after surgery for just one day and I've fine since then. Try getting some Fluid in so you won't dehydrated. Hopefully it will run it course very soon.

Day 4 after surgery and still no BM, but lots of gas!!

As they say liquids in liquids out. It gets better once you get to the soft foods. I took Fiber choice chewables which seemed to help ask your doctor if they are okay.

I had my first BM three days out of surgery and it was all liquid, now it's more of a thick yogurt consistency.

Me either! I was sleeved the same day and no BM either! I am getting worried to I am upping the stool softeners! The only gas I have is burbs, nothing from the southern end yet! Hopefully things will start moving in the right direction soon!
