4 days post op and worried about diarrhoea!

Hey I just had my surgery on Sun 13th Jan so today is my second day having clear fluids, I began having diarrhoea this am and has been intermittent throughout the day, is this normal? I've not been experiencing cramps with it or sweats. Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Normal, but you are losing fluids and electrolytes. Call your Dr. They may want you to take something to slow the diarrhea. Good luck!

I didn't have real diarrhea. Just loose stools. I'd far rather have this and know that things are moving than the horrific constipation many complain about. Just drink drink drink so you don't get dehydrated.

If it becomes a concern, see your doctor.

Don't worry normal, before you know it your going to be constipated.

Liquid in=liquid out. It sucks, but once you add in more real food- it will change over.

I had explosive diarrhea,so its normal,but try some powerade or gatorade zero,so you dont loose to many electrolytes
