The long walk home 2 Posted May 17, 2013 Hi all I have had, so embarrassing...a leaking bowel since day two after my op. I am now day five.. I go to sleep and I wake up and it has just leaked out of me...I don't feel like it was after I have passed wind or anything.. I have been very careful with anything that goes in my mouth. I am only taking in 10 grams of protien powder at meal. Not eating any sugar or fat..mostly just pain meds, Water, a few ounces of black Decaf tea with a tiny bit of skim milk. chewable vitamins. Ect... Please don't tell me this is normal...running out of pads and self esteem..any clues guys....please......also I have an off and on temp since day two of surgery...makes me shake n chiver Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280 Posted May 17, 2013 Wow damn girl... Idk what to say. You haven't mention anything strange. I think you should buy adult diapers incase accidents at night but I would call the surgeon about this. I have t heard if this. I got the vomiting for a month it stoped then at 3 months vomiting 1 week till they found out my stomach closed up & I wasn't. Able to keep food down at all. Call the surgeon ASAP liquid poop is dehydration Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had back surgery, was on antiobiotics beforehand.and they didn't think it was possible...it is, it got MUCH worse, make that call!! Infections can be picked up many ways and are unfortunately normal, but you need to treat them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flmomof2 9 Posted May 19, 2013 Are you taking Fiber? My nut has me on the Benefiber equivalent twice a day. Fiber supplements actually help get rid of diarrhea but definitely call that Dr! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
