2 Weeks Post Op And Having Bad Diarrhea

I am about two weeks post op and I have been having bowl movements, earlier today it started to get that diarrhea looking color. And just a little bit ago, I literally only had liquid coming out, just brown liquid. Is this normal? I know that I can call my dr which I will probably do a little bit later, but from now I thought I would ask some people who have or are going through the same thing..

Unfortunately totally normal. I've had this for 5 days. I talked to my doctor Tuesday and he reassured me all is well and it's totally normal.

Thanks for responding! Good to know it's normal. Is there anything you took that helped? I have to get on a plan tomorrow and I'm praying to god there will be no accidents! Especially if the seatbelt sign is on! Lol

I've found that a strategically placed panty liner is a small insurance policy. Better to have an oops on the liner than have to change the whole bottom half of your outfit.

yes happened to me too. literally as soon as I had 2 sips of my protein shake... I had to RUN and I mean run to the bathroom. I was afraid to go out anywhere lol. liquid in... liquid out.

Yeah, I had it real bad too. My doctor prescribed me liquid codeine twice a day and it helped clear it up.
