Ok I know it's not pleasant to talk about, but I need help. I had surgery on Wednesday and I had my first bm yesterday. It was loose and have had a several since. I'm not feeling bad and having no pain besides tolerable pain when standing up. I'm wondering if this is normal. I am drinking more today and drinking G2 for replacement fluid.

Very normal

Very normal

Thanks. I thought so just needed some reassurance.

Your welcome no topic is off limits here. Lmbo we are go threw wth what's that moment

My nurse said its to be expected but if more than 6-8 times a day, let her know.

I had the worst runs from day 5 until day 12 had to get hydrated twice in the Er. It is very normal just make sure you are sipping. dehydration is no fun.

same thing happened to me

very loose bms that first week. Remember also you're only taking in liquids and nothing with enough fiber or carbs to bind things up. It's going to be loose for a while until you're on more solid foods. I know once I was into the 5th stage level of eating...meaning all solids including fruit and veggies....things were more normal so to speak.

Yeah. I'm doing much better now and making sure I'm drinking more that I was.

Kerri have you lost any weight since your surgery date? The only reason i ask is because we had same date. i have not lost a single pound

And btw its completely normail cause im having same type of bowel movements.

I have lost 8lbs since surgery, but I have not had a problem keeping things down so I think that has something to do with it.

You are doing fine and having a BM early is good. I did not have one for 6 days after surgery. But you have to remember you are not eating so since nothing is going in then nothing will be coming out. Before surgery I had to clean out my bowels with a laxative and my first BM was hard and difficult. Then after a couple weeks I started going daily. You will notice a change since the food you are putting in is way different that what you are use to eating.

Yeah. I think everything has evened out. Maybe going once or twice a day now. I'm doing pretty good all the way around. Feeling great, drove my lil man to school this morning with no problems. Can't wait until I can exercise, but that will be a while I guess.
