8 days after surgery and diarrhea

[Bobcats 3]

Today is my first day back to work and I am having bad diarrhea and bloating. I'm on liquids until next week, and today I've had one premiere Protein, sugar free Jello, sugar free pudding, and less than one cup of blended lentil Soup. All of these foods are on my dr's list and I had no problem with them on my pre-op diet or when I ate them sparingly in the first few days after surgery. Other than feeling uncomfortable from the bloating, I'm not having weird pain or other symptoms.

Could this be a result of the sugar substitutes in my foods? If so, it's weird I didn't have this problem when I was home (however, I was on pain killers, which tend to cause Constipation for me.) I don't know what I can do if the sugar substitutes are a problem because their isn't much left that I can eat on the list I was given!

I am 9 days post-op and was feeling great until last night, and had a couple "normal" BMs. Last night I took a turn and also have diarrhea now and feel pretty dehydrated and don't want to drink much. I haven't had anything thicker than thin yogurt, so people have been saying "liquid in - liquid out", so I'm assuming we're still adjusting. Try some Gass X for bloating! It helps me

Had the somewhat of the same issue and someone on the forum suggested I try musclemilk instead of premier because it's lactose free. Just bought it and waiting on it to chill. U know our stomach is all different now and it likes things we didn't like before and hate somethings we loved. Before this I had no problem at all with the premier drinks. Give the muscle milk a try.
