Anyone else come home for surgery with diarrhea?

Good lord. I went in with it, and was assured it was from the pre op diet, but never expected to come out with it. I heard all the stories of people not able to go for days, yet the day after surgery I came out firing... literally. I think my lack of gall bladder does this but just curious if anyone else had experience.

Have been since the 19th... So not fun

Yep - liquid in, liquid out. Once you start your Nourishing fluids (not clear) and Puree it will start becoming normal again, just smaller in size.

Yep! Liquid until I started solids. Now I have constipation D:

Doctor told me to drink drink drink so that I can go to the bathroom more. Oh and to eat fruit high in Fiber.

On another note, some doctors give patients an antibiotic after surgery as a preventative measure from contracting a bacteria in the intestines. That medicine causes serious runs FYI if you are taking it.

3 Protein shakes in the day helped me with my 3-4 day constipation. :P
