diarrhea 7 days post-op

[krisa 0]

So I've gotten the dreaded diarrhea. I'm not sure why it's starting now (liquid in-liquid out), when I was on a liquid diet 10 days pre-op and have been on a liquid diet post-op for 7 days now (17 days total). Does anyone know if we can take anything for it, like Immodium?

I had the same problem - I finally did take some immodium and it cleared up - the pills are small and I didn't have any problems - but best to ck w/your doc...

I had the same issue with diarhhea. It's because your just on liquids. Although sometimes the pain meds can cause the opposite effect as some people have attested to. Anyways..once you get on some mushy food you'll get sorted out. But yeah..it's a sore butt for awhile..sorry.
