2 Weeks Post Op And Having Bad Diarrhea



Recommended Posts

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.

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

      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!
