Post Surgery TMI question



Recommended Posts

I am having my surgery in just a few days (eek!) and I have a question about diarrhea. Did anyone have it post surgery? I will be traveling home on an airplane 3 days after my surgery and am so scared it will be a problem!

Well this isn't probably what you want to hear but yes, I did have diarrhea. You know what they say, liquids in, liquids out. But don't let that upset you! Not everyone gets it, so just hope on hope you don't get it. :)

I have, but I didnt actually get diarhea until after I was home. I find one thing that really set off diahrea is Protein Drinks, but it is honestly not that bad at all. If you get it too bad just buy yourself some baby wipes, you will appreciate it.

I went to Dr. Aceves, too. I had explosive diahrrea a couple of hours after drinking the nasty leak test stuff. I took some chewable immodium with me and ate one first thing the morning of flying home and was fine. Also be prepared to probably start your period a couple days after surgery, even if it isn't time. I think the 3 must have things to take to Mexicali are : Gas X strips, sanitary napkins and chewable immodium.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
