Hi guys,

I'm 9 days out of surgery and I have two questions. The first is that I still have pain on the side where my port is. It's gotten less, but when I do too much it really starts to hurt again. (when I say do too much, i mean walk around target for an hour) Is this normal?

Also, sorry to be gross, but I'm still on the liquid diet and everything that comes out of my butt is pure liquid. I go like 6 to 8 times a day, and it's nothing but pure liquid. Gross, I know, but is this what you guys experienced?

Your first question is yes! You can be sore on and off for a while. I am over 4 weeks out and just got done being sore around my port. Completely normal!!

Question 2... liquids in equals Liquids OUT! Yes normal again! I had my first fill today and been on Clear Liquids and I can concur it happens anytime you go on just liquids. It will get better when you start mushies!!

You are doing great!

YES AND YES!!!

All normal pretty soon you'll be back to your old self again...

Yep to both. I know my port still hurts sometimes, and I am almost 14 months out. It is sore today for some reason. The pooping issues get better. I had a few bathroom issues after surgery as well.

Definately...Yes & Yes! Actually I was worried I would be bloated and constipated like some people mention....I feel better knowing everything is moving through

LOL. Yes and yes as previously stated. I had several accidents not knowing that your bowels get loose. My doc says perfectly normal and it will balance out. My port also aches sometimes for no reason and Im 6 months out. Its also really sore to touch after I get a fill.
