Hi All!! Question... I had surgery on Tuesday so I'm 3 days out. I've been having water diarrhea since. Anyone else have this?

yes, I had it...remember...water in-water out...lol

Omg when does it end!! My tummy also has been screaming at me all day today!

yeah, I know...it will end when you move to mushies...lol

Just look at it from the prespective of your stomach....its like...WTH have this woman done to me.... *gumble* *grumble*....it will settle down in time...

LOL

I didn't have it till I went to mushies. Just last week and now I've only had one day without it...today....which I went back to liquids

i had it until about half way through the "soft and mushy" week...then things started to become normal... while it was happening it was very nerve racking to say the least...

Why did you have to go back to liquids?

Trust me it must be better than what I had constipation!! I didn't go for over a week after surgery.

Omg I remember that for the first few days until I went and got some strawberry fiber gummies from cvs and that started helping a bit.

I had surgery July 2nd. The same happened to me. My Dr. Told me to take 1/2 of an Imodium. I'm still having to take it almost daily!

I'm in the same boat as sil222. I was constipated for almost 2 weeks after surgery. It was horrible. My surgeon suggested taking fiber so I started taking the gummies every other day and that did the trick!

Why did you have to go back to liquids?

Eating anything resembling real food causes pain in my chest and throat. Not sure

if Im just not chewing enough or what. I know its way too hard to make 3 oz of food last 20 minutes ~ At least with liquids ( Soups, smoothies, etc) I dont have to watch the clock. I just fixed dumplings and I didn't have much of a problem but still could not make it last 20 min.

You know something has gone terribly wrong in your life when getting to eat "mushies" and "slushies" is something to look forward to...LOL

Before you know it your current problem will be gone .... "water under the bridge" as they say.... Okay, bad cliche. But you get my drift.

Each stage seems an eternity, but each one passes before you know it. I got to eat real, non-blendered beef today. Of course it was "pot roasted" to oblivion, but was not technically put in a blender, so I am still celebrating. You will be too soon.

what did the doc say? Will this get better? I'm so sorry you are having complications.

He didnt say it would get better. He just said sliw down. Any slower and my food will mildew before I finish. I think the pain isnt worth the food right now.
