Surgery 9/4 & Diarrhea? Tmi Sorry!

[robynluevano 85]

I was released Thursday & I have had diarrhea at least 1 time a day since. Do you think it's just from the anesthesia? I am able to get in my liquids just fine, no issues. Also my Vitamins & B12. Been taking the Prilosec they prescribed. No pain meds since 3 am (yay!), or nausea meds since last night (another yay!). Up at 7 this morning, watched tv, took a 2 hour nap, watched a movie, took a shower, dried & straightened my hair, read part of a book & going to go walk at the mall (bc it's 104° here today, yuck!!). So what do you think the diarrhea is from? :-( I don't feel bad when it happens.

I can relate to this ... I had diarrhea for a week after surgery! Not sure what caused it but my surgeon thought it might be an infection & he prescribed antibiotic ... It cleared up pretty much when I started taking the Flagil! Hope you get better... Just stay hydrated!

I think it's very common. I had it from day 10-14 after surgery. I was on full liquids until day 14. Now on pureed/soft and it's not an issue. As they say.....liquid in, liquid out.

Totally normal!! I had it the first few days I was home.

It's because of all the liquids. It will be fine. It will stop as you change in to food stages with more substance.
