Embarrassing question

[justfran 1]

I had my surgery on Nov 26th and now, for last one-two weeks or so, I can sometimes have a very light color of diarreah, though in very small amounts. sometimes it can be 5 times a day, and other days it can be none at all. Any ideas?

are you still on liquids? liquids in , liquids out.

When you move to regular food, you'll probably have the opposite problem.

Does it float? if so, it is fat being eliminated from your body--a good sign, I would think!

your body is trying to get used to what has happened to it. At least that is how it was explained to me. I had diarrhea up to 5 times a day for the first 3 weeks and then it went away. . hope this helps a bit. . . good luck

How light? If it's beige, then there's something wrong with your gallbladder (most likely stone somewhere).

I am on regular food, except for things like raw vegetables and sald. I have really only been eating things like chicken, tuna fish, salmon and eggs. I have not eaten vegetables because I feel that if they have no Protein, why bother? I do see the nursing staff on Monday, so maybe they will be able to help. Thanks for replying.
