Bowel Movement

[D1NOnlySexyLady 70]

Just want to warn before hand it might be a little gross, but I need to know if this ok, for the past three days I have been going to the bathroom twice a day having a very loose and watery stool. All I have been having is crystal light energy Water, Jello and broth. Should I be worried of the frequency since I am eating so little or is this normal? Thanks for everyone who answers

Your bowel movements are normal for post op. I am 2 weeks post op and still have the watery/sawdust like poops. My dr. Said that until I start eating more solid I would have those types of stools. And fair warning don't trust your farts until you get a better idea of the pooping pattern.

This is happening to me now and the doctors told me before I left the hospital yesterday that it will be normal as long as there is no blood in it.

P.s. if you start to have more than 4 a day just give your dr office a call and let them know. Your dr may say that it is ok but it doesn't hurt to give them a call.

Thank you so much for your help! I was just worried about dehydration

THe most important thing is to make sure you are getting at least 8 glasses of Water a day. You can count the Protein Shakes as liquid intake. If your lips start to get dry then check your intake. On humid and hot days try to increase your intake to 10 glasses a day. As long as your coming close to you daily intake you should be ok.

"Don't trust your farts." Wiser words have never been spoken.

very true... don't trust a fart. Yeah, it's normal to be very loose during the liquid diet stage.

"Never trust your farts" reminds me of the motto of one of my favorite Mexican restaurants which was "Every farts a gamble". LOL
