EddiesAngel 14 Posted July 28, 2013 My throat has been killing me. I finally thought to look at it and it was covered in white blister like things. And I've had horrible diarrhea all day. I called my doctor and he called in a pill plus a swish and swallow and I already feel a little better. My doctor was so nice too. He called me back in less than 5 minutes on a sat evening' date=' said it was no trouble at all and immediately called in the scrips, then texted me to let me know it was done. Love Dr. Jawad. It is thrush. I can't remember who just said they had thrush, but are you taking something for it?[/quote'] I wonder if this is a common thing because my mom got thrush as well when she had her surgery.

ElaineB 207 Posted July 28, 2013 I believe it cannot be uncommon. I got IV antibiotics for the whole time I was in the hospital. That will kill off the good bacteria and allow for the overgrowth of yeast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kw2walker 211 Posted July 28, 2013 I wonder if this is a common thing because my mom got thrush as well when she had her surgery. I have thrush and it the pits, my breath is so rank and my tongue is starting to hurt. I hope to get some yogurt in my system to have it help put the balance of good bacteria back in the old body.

kw2walker 211 Posted July 28, 2013 I just had it the day after the surgery but thank god not anymore I think because I'm on Clear Liquids until my first post-op visit is why I have it. Oh I pray I can move to full liquids. Yogurt can save me lol! 2 Dee White and lanuzaanac reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kieshart 73 Posted July 28, 2013 Had surgery on the 24th Wednesday. Well actually, I'm like, surgery? what surgery? I feel amazing! Every now and then a runners cramp where my lower incisions are. If I could drink normal, I would forget I had the procedure done. About to fly home from San Diego with these tight compression socks on. Can someone please tell me if I can take these things off for the flight? They are so uncomfortable under my jeans. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gettingslim 86 Posted July 28, 2013 I know this is a crappy issue but anyone having dark stool? I had my first bm since the surgery and it seemed soft but fine but today (day3) I had another bm that was dark in color. Any help or knowledge is appreciated. I should also note I started an Iron supplement today. 1 ChaoticBliss reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
