HELP! I'm seriously freaked out. I had surgery on January 9th and have been on Clear liquids. Everything has been perfect so far - no excessive nausea, heartburn, or gas. I thought things were going so well. Until today - I started my first day of full liquids. I had a sugar free fudge pop last night over the course of about 5 minutes and about 5-10 minutes later it came out of the other end (sorry!). I thought maybe it was a fluke. Well this morning I had my first full liquid Protein shake since surgery (I'm enjoying the pre-made GNC Lean Shake which is lactose free). I sipped it over an hour. I thought things were going well, but then the same thing happened - about 5-10 minutes after I took my last sip my stomach started gurgling and I had to go to the bathroom again. I was a tiny bit nauseous but that passed quickly thankfully.

I'm terrified that this will always happen and I'm doomed - this can't happen forever! Since it isn't a lactose problem I'm really worried. Did this happen to anyone and did it go away???? I go back to work next Wednesday and this might pose a problem if I need an hour and a half to drink a Protein Shake and go to the bathroom every time..... !!!!!!!!!!!!

I think everyone has different bowel experiences. I have not been constipated at all. I am 6 and 1/2 weeks out. I tend to still have loose although not uncontroled or rushing to bathroom. Sorry if that is TMI just wanting to say don't worry loose or constipated it all seems to be normal on here.
