Sorry, this is a bit embarrasing, but since ive been home from the hospital my stools are loose. Is this normal? Oh, and a bit dizzy once in awhile. Is all this normal?

Yup - you haven't had any solid food so they're going to be loose - the dizzy is normal too it seems - if it doesn't start to subside, consult your doc.

I had quite the opposite effect. During my pre-op diet and the first week after surgery, I was constipated. I did not have a bowel movement until ten days after my surgery. Almost went to the hospital, I was scared to strain myself too much. Called doctor's office, told me I could take milk of magnesium.

The dizziness can be from not getting enough fluids in. Try to increase your Water intake to not be dizzy. Congrats! :)
