I'm 4 days post op and I have the runs!!!!!!!!! Ewwwww!!!! Is this normal & whats a good remedy?!?!?!

Yeah I have them too. I'm 6 days post-op. I didn't start getting them until I got home from Mexico. I am thinking the antibiotic I'm taking is the suspect. I'm pretty grossed out because I'm not eating any food yet still eliminating gunk. Yuck!

Your body is not good at turning liquids into solids, if you know what I mean. Expect to have primarily diarrhea or a pudding-like stool until you're able to get the majority of your intake through solid means.

I had it a few times lastnight. Not great, but at least I'm pooping. (surgery was a week ago today and it was my first stool since the morning of surgery)

im throwing it out there... i have diarrhea only once after surgery.

you may also be highly sensitive to sucrolose(splenda) though. its give diarrhea and bloating to lots of people! not sure if you are ingesting this, but just a thought! (most Protein powders contain this) if not, i hope it clears soon! sorry =(

I'm 6 days post-op and no stool of any kind. Should I be concerned?

I didn't know that about Splenda. Interesting. I do have it in my tea and coffee and sprinkled on fruit. I had pretty bad diarrhea a few days after returning home from the hospital and pretty much every day that I was on the full liquid diet. Now I'm two days into mushies, and I still have it. I came here for answers and found this thread. I'm not on antibiotics.
