I've only been home since yesterday evening but today had 2 episodes of loose stool. How much do you have to be having to show concern. I'm on all liquids so it's kinda hard to think I would have solid bm,s. Any thoughts

I was asked if I had a BM. I said, yes, based on the fact that the 'stuff' came from the required place :-) It basically was just sediment in the toilet bowl

My surgery was on Wednesday and I've had nothing but air pass through my bowels and I'm ready for something... anything at this point to break loose, lol. I feel very bloated and gassy still, although much less painful than the gas had been on Thurs/Fri. I was discharged a little more than 24 hours after my surgery and they never asked me if I did anything other than pass gas. I'm still hoping for something to happen sometime soon. But like you, I'm still on all liquids so I'm not expecting much. Please feel free to "friend me" as I'm new to this group and looking to make contacts to share information with and encourage along this new journey! God Bless!

When concerned about something you should call your surgeons office.

Now that that's said I will tell you my experience and that is I had loose bowels for the time I got home and until I got more solid foods in me.

I know that that's a horrible idea that you might have the same thing but each individual is different and their body reacts differently.

So again I will say when concerned ask your surgeons office about it.

They will have the best answers.

Feel better.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
