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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
