Somebody help my poor butt!

So I never received know whether to count to day of surgery since it was so early but I am either 11 or 12 days post-op.. 12/28 surgery. Anyway, I messed up my count and thought I could have pureed foods yesterday. Yay! Until I had to poop. I was reading my manual this afternoon and realized it was supposed to be this coming Sunday.

Anyway, I realized early that I am lactose intolerant now (hopefully this passes). The Protein I've been drinking for the last 3 days (Core Power) is lactose free but actual milk. It still have me the runs though. About 20 minutes or so after I finished about 4 ounces the tumny-rumbles started. That was yesterday and today. Well, before I read the manual I had pureed chicken and boiled green banana with curry gravy. I didn't think anything of it because this was food I have known my whole life; I'm Caribbean. Almost exactly 2 hours after the first bite I'm in the potty again. It started with the tummy rumbles.

What I'm worried about is the loose and watery poop. It's like peeing out of the wrong end. Is this what happens when you have food sensitives? Halp!

Those first few weeks were like Water works.

It will pass as your diet changes to chicken, beef, pork, tuna and other quality solid Protein sources.

Your body is going through a heap of changes right now.

It will get better and you will feel normal soon.

I had "liquid in, liquid out" until I started softs and solids. It is normal.

I have the exact opposite not fun either way. Here's to getting to normal!!!

Thanks Dubs and liannatx, good to know this is normal for now.

Gibbs.. honestly, I think I'd prefer that. Thank God my office is so close to the bathroom!

you're probably not lactose intolerant...unless you were before. The pooping situation post op will be....interesting for a while. I'm almost 6 months out and bathroom time is still an adventure.

just remember...liquid in, liquid out
