Have a bathroom question

[Tweety40 52]

I had my surgery last Wednesday so it's been 4 days. I am finally getting more liquids in, which is good. The other day was the first tim I went #2, but it was like I passed gas and it was like an explosion sorry tmi., but I need to ask if anyone else has experienced the same thing. I have only had Clear Liquids now since last Tuesday so I would think it would be solid, but if feels like every time go to the bathroom and I pass gas it happens. It's brown and yellow . it's not really diarrhea. As anyone else experience this??

I think that it is very normal.

I was like that for nine days. Had to take me off of Protein Shakes to firm me up.

Yes, ???? me too. Mine woke me up at 2am. I don't look for mine to change until I start stage 2.

liquids in, liquids out.

If you're not eating food, there is nothing to firm up.

That's what I figured, I'm just so afraid of having a leak in my stomach (new )

I didn't have a bowel movement the entire first week, so I consider you fortunate that you were able to pass anything.

I had the same experience. I even asked my doctor about it at my first follow up appointment. It is normal. The first few days you have to be careful. Sometimes you think it's just gas so you gamble and lose lol. Started to firm up on Stage 2 but still going a day or two before the next bowel movement. When I do go it seems to be a trilogy or mini series so I suggest getting soft tissue and flushable wipes.

Thank you all ,that makes me feel better.

I had the exact opposite effect.

I couldn't pass anything without extreme pain and tearing without taking 6 Colace and Fiber gummies twice a day.
