Loose stools and lots of gas in pipes while moving bowels

[Coexister 114]

I see a lot of content on here about Constipation but I am having a different problem. I am 4 days post- op and my stools look like little rabbit poos and every time I move bowels it is an explosion of gas along with those weird little stools? It is like doing a colon cleanse sensation. Some of those stools float and I don't get that since I am not eating any fat on my post-op liquid diet. Should I be concerned? Anyone else had this issue?

They are going to be a lot smaller since you are eating less. I think you can take GasX, might want to check with your surgeon's office. Otherwise, sounds pretty normal.

At 4 or 5 days you will be getting rid of stuff in your bowels that was there before surgery. Once that's gone, it will turn from rabbit turds to cow pies because Protein Shakes.

Well well,Lucky little You, I never got Cow Pies with Protein Shakes, you must have had casein or lactose intolerance, I merely went from rabbit,turds to trying to pass cement blocks, I became the twice a day Miralax Kid with an every 3rd day side course of MoM.
Others warned me, but I failed to believe them . And Sqautty Potty, I've got one on order. Since I went 9n TPN it is better, can't understand it, it is ill- logical but true.

Do you sleep with a CPAP? I had this problem and it turned out my CPAP was filling my pouch and intestines with air while I slept. It was ramping up to too high of an air flow for my breathing to compensate.

Yes, I do sleep with a CPAP. Have for years! Will have to get with a sleep doctor and see if it needs adjustment down. Also taking note of the casein or lactose intolerance because up till Protein Shakes, I never drank milk? I am 7 days post op and still having the same issues. Thanks guys!
