Sorry to ask so many things

[LisaCh 13]

Hi. Anyone else get horrible diarrhea. I’m day three post op and it’s horrible. Don’t know if it warrants a call to my doctor or not. I’m sorry I’m asking so many questions. Thank you.

This is pretty common at this stage since you're only ingesting liquids. Watch for signs of dehydration. That's your big concern right now. If your doctor's office has someone on call, you can ask whether it's ok to take something like Imodium.

I had the opposite problem Constipation. As Orchids stressed be careful not to become dehydrated. Very difficult to hydrate three days post op as drinking liquids on a good day is not easy. A call to your surgeon wouldn't hurt.

Thank you. I called the doctor. She said it’s normal and to make sure I drink enough. Trying to. I have to admit the recovery is harder than I thought. Thank you all for being here.

Yes I did. It changes once you get on solid foods.
