CKmommy 27 Posted January 7, 2021 I am on day four after surgery. I am following the guidelines of 4oz per hour, but I have no clue whether I am feeling hungry or full? Like no idea at all! Is this normal? Also, this my be tmi but I am having issues with bowel incontinence for the last 2 days. Is this normal? 1 mil_unloaded reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GradyCat 3,695 Posted January 7, 2021 Trust the measurements now. Your body is still healing and adjusting from major surgery. You won't know the difference yet and likely is you won't feel hungry for a couple of weeks. Just measure and eat/drink and take care. 1 catwoman7 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arabesque 7,426 Posted January 8, 2021 Constipation or diarrhoea is pretty common in the beginning. A friend wore disposable adult diapers for the first week (a suggestion from her surgeon) & she thanked God every day for them as she suffered bowel in continence too for the first week. I was fortunate & only had one bad attack like that. I got up to do a wee & uh oh! No control at all. Of course if it persists contact your medical team. Good luck & congrats on your surgery.
