BM changes post op--TMI

[savannahsmommie 0]

Ok so I saw the other post on here asking about when to expect a BM. I have been having them and it's completely different than pre-op. I am assuming it's because I am on all liquids, but my BM is all liquid.....is this something that is normal for this stage....I had two today and one yesterday. Really made me nervous.

liquid in = liquid out. It will change again when you start transitioning to mushy and then solid foods. Nothing to worry about.

Everyone in my house cheers when I finally have a BM - it has been a struggle....

The only thing I can tell you to share my struggles is that it reminds me when we got our dog about 8 years ago and he did a doo-doo in the yard instead of the house. We got all excited and made a big deal. So, now instead of getting excited for the dog, my kids (9 and 6) get excited for Dad!

Woo-friggin'-Hoo!

Keep in mind if you are taking pain meds after surgery, a side effect to narcotics is constipation/impaction FYI for a little TMI. lol

Agree with liquid in - liquid out....theory but there are enough solids in the Trader Joe's powder to make some sort of solid movement. If you use a stick mixer with either a banana of the white of an apple and beaten until liquid, there are enough of natures solids to ease your TMI
