healthyme 1 Posted July 20, 2012 I ventured out of the house yesterday for the first time since surgery. We went to Target so I could get food for my soft diet. When I got home I was freezing and my whole body was shaking (it was raining outside). I eventually became very lightheaded and dizzy so I slept off and on the rest of the day. Early this morning (4 a.m.), the upset stomach and diarrhea started...felt like I was going to die! Has anyone experienced this? Any idea what might have caused it? Is it ok to take anti-diarrhea meds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted July 20, 2012 You might have just over did it. Are you drinking a lot of fluids because it could also be dehydration. Make sure your getting some Protein in. Our bodies react in some strange ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelliecalgary 18 Posted July 20, 2012 I am really starting to worry that my experience is not normal! I am 12 days out now, and have resumed my normal daily life. I eat most things that I did before just in very small quantities. After the first 5 days after surgery I have felt great with no pain, no real problems at all. Most people that I hear from have at least 6 weeks of real recovery. I don't know if I am just healing especially well or if something is really wrong with me. I hope that you get to feeling better, just remember to stay hydrated and get some rest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
