I am now day three post op and I feel horrible. My muscles ache, nausea, Im dizzy, light headed and my mouth feels like I ate a gallon of Elmer's glue. Oh, and this terrible diarrhea, which I have no idea where i came from bc Ive been sipping on Water G2 and chamomile tea since Wednesday.

Is this normal?

Um no. Not the diarrhea. Loose stools come with a liquid diet but not horrible diarrhea. That with the nausea and lightheadedness could be a stomach bug. Call your doctor and see what they say.

Definitely call your doctor -- could be a reaction to anesthesia or pain medication.......Hope you feel better soon! What kind of surgery did you have? Your medical professionals will be glad to hear from you; they want a happy healthy patient recovering well. Best wishes!

always best to call and tell dr what is happening ALWAYS

i had #2 big time after surgery (and before) liquids in means liquids out

if dr gives ok, see if you use immodum AD and also try a probiotic as that helps the digestive track

i open the capsule and put in my Protein drink every morning

make sure you are drinking/sipping (use SF popsicles to help)

drinking too much too fast can make you feel sick.go slow and use the anti nausea tabs they gave

you to help ..this was major surgery, its going to hurt but each day you will get better

hang in there

Most of your symptoms sound like dehydration. Could be you have a simple stomach bug. Definitely get lots of fluids in. I'd contact my surgeon just in case, but don't forget the fluids.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate your help. I ended up going to sleep last night not feeling well. I felt slightly better when I woke up but quickly turned back to what I was experiencing last night. Has anyone ever had maybe eggs mushed up or cream of wheat watered down before the end of the first week? Im also hypoglycemic so I have no idea if that is whats going on as well. Its frustrating but I know it will get better.

I hope things get better for u.

My surgeon had me start my protein drinks right after surgery. I had a gastric bypass 8/12/2014, I was drinking Isopure. It's considered a clear protein drink and safe to have as your stomach heals.

I am also a diabetic. Whenever my sugar got too low i would have regular jello to help. Plus the calories from the protein drink would also help.

Concentrate more on fluids than eating . It is very important to stay hydrated!

Keep in touch with your medical team.....they are there to help.

Good luck, sweetie.

Thanks! I'll go look them up now. Ive been sleeping a lot as well, maybe that contributes to it.

Hj Harley, how are you feeling? I pray things are better for you.
