Hi everyone! I am new to the site tonite but I have been going through the forums for help. I have not seen one that has my symptoms. Monday, May 14, 2012 will be 4 weeks post surgery. Everything was going fine until I started getting diarrhea. I am not sure what to do. I am eating soft foods such as mashed potatoes to keep me from staying hungry but meat is not agreeing with me at this time. I drink Water and I have to go to the bathroom. I eat string Beans and I have to go to the bathroom. The same goes for my Protein shakes. The only time I dont go is when I eat mashed potatoes and pudding all day. I went to the hospital and my test results were good. I had to make an appt with my NUT and that is not until next Friday but I need help. I took Imodium and it worked fine but now its 3 days later and I am back to where I started. Obviously my back side is sore so I need some help and suggestions. Is water giving me diarrhea? scrambled eggs are not digesting well either. As a result I am not getting protein and barely getting my fluids in. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME IF THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS TOO!!! Thank you to everyone that can help.

Thank you the bananas worked!!!

Hi- I want to thank everyone for assisting me with this. I tried eating bananas last night and I did not have diarrhea. I didn't have it today so far either. Thank God. I don't know what that was all about but it has happened to me since the fourth day I came home. I am drinking gatorade now so I hope to replenish some fluids I lost. I can't wait to see mu NUT this Friday. Tomorrow will start the 4 weeks for me. Any food advice from anyone?

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! TO EVERYONE:)

Hi MinaT- I am trying to eat a banana right now to see if that will work. I will get some Gatorade tomorrow. I am really scared to drink anything tonite. I picked up Tucks and they burn. Money is really tight so I am going to do the best that I can. Thank you so much for responding to me tonite. Have a Blessed nite:)

Thank you I will try to get bananas tonite. My husband said are you serious you need bananas tonite? lol I said yes so we can sleep tonite. Thank you again, I really need to try something. My backside is hurting now cause I go at least 6 times a day, especially when I drink water. uuugghhh! Have a blessed nite!

Thank you Mab! I am scared to increase my intake with water because it makes me go to the bathroom. I am going to try and drink regular iced tea and see what happens. If you hear any other suggestions to help me, please let me know.
