I take a daily probiotic per my doctor. They said Culturelle is the best for it. Its worth a try but doesn't always work perfectly. Good luck

I'm in the same boat, but 6 days post-op. I'm having more going out then I'm able to take in. (Drinking is a while other story all together). The nurse told me to take Imodium for the diarrhea. I can't tell you the results, as i just took it about five minutes ago. The biggest concern is dehydration right now, so try to keep drinking. If you're running a fever (101.0) and not untrusting much you may want to go to the ER.

I am 14 days and still have diarrhea but not nearly as bad as the 1st 10 days. The nurse told me as long as I was doing liquids there is a good chance of diarrhea. Liquids in, liquid out. Imodium helped to limit it to 4 times a day instead of 10. I'm starting mushy food now so my stool is beginning to get less liquid and only once a day do I have to race to the toilet.

I did have to go to the ER on day 5 because of dehydration. I felt better immediatley. It was a catch 22, I wasn't able to get the liquids down because I was sleeping for hours at a time and not awake enough to drink enough fluids. Water just doesn't taste the same as it did.

Update on the Imodium: it worked well for me with no other incidents after one pill. On a side note, the temperature of the liquid you're consuming matters. If it's too cold or too hot it can cause muscle spasms in your stomach. I sure wish I had this info since day one.

Mine just stopped on its own...was a bit scary because I thought it wouldn't.
