Blood in your stool after surgery



Recommended Posts

I am three days out of surgery and all of my poop has blood in it! I called my Doctor and he told me to wait a few more days and if it has not gotten any better to come back and see him. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have not had the problem.

Is the blood red? Or does your poop look like coffee grounds

Blood red is actually good. Blood red means the blood is more than likely coming from the rectum area. Like a hemroid. If you had to strain to poop for your first time that could cause it.

When the poop looks like coffee grounds then it means the blood is internal. That is a lot more serious.

Follow up with your doctor.

I have lost 37#s since my surgery on 12/20/13. I am feeling great, have had no dumping at all. I have pretty much stuck to my 2 week post surgery diet, i did have a scrambled egg & 1 piece of toast this morning and had no problem eating it & I felt full after I ate!!! I meet with my Surgeon on Monday for my 2 week appt. Hope everyone had a great New Year!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
