  1. Hello Everyone! I apologize now for the gross topic of this blog! I was discharged on Thursday, August 23rd and that night I had a somewhat regular bowel movement. Then yesterday, Friday, August 24th, I had an accident. I was walking around my apartment because I could feel the air bubbles and I passed gas - which I was so relieved about. Then a few minutes later, while sitting on the couch, I had the urgency to go. So I got up and headed to the bathroom just to find that it was too late and I had messed myself. I was mortified and started crying. Luckily, my mom, an RN, has been staying with me to make sure everything is okay - because I tend to freak myself out. So I called the doctor to see if this was normal and he said it was either from the barium that I drank the day before or it was because of the protein shakes. However, during the pre-op meal plan, the protein shakes didn't have this kind of affect on me. He said if it happened again, to call the doctor on call and he'd write a script for me because it's possible I contracted bacterial colitis while on the IV antibiotics at the hospital.
     
    So what I want to know is. Did this happen to anyone else? If so, what did you do? And how long before you recovered?
     
    I'm actually afraid to leave my home because I don't want to be in public and have this incident occur again.
     
    Any help anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
