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.

My on call doc finally called. The watery bm is ok.

I had RNY on 6-22 and I have not had a bowel movement plenty of gas and sore on the left side where he said the stapler went in and he stitched the muscle for support but I have been wondering the same thing. I am getting all my fluid and protein in but just concerned about he poop.

About 5 days after my surgery I was so bloated and uncomfortable from not have one yet. I took milk of magnesia and got it all out and have been just fine since. I'm 2 weeks post surgery tomorrow.

Hi had my surgery the 25th of this month, I started Saturday with the lose stool like you said watery. I did not know I had this much stuff in me. I see my surgeon today so I will be mentioning this. I think this is normal things just coming back to life.
