So I am 5 days post op... You know how they say to keep walking and keep passing gas... Well I went to Lowes with my husband today after finally starting to feel better and figured I could use a walk... Well I passed gas at Lowes after about 20 min of walking and unfortunately it wasn't gas... I apparently had my first BM and I started my period since this body is all confused and shocked after surgery. I mean it was bad.... on the way to the restroom I started to leave black gross trail .... Sooo embarrassing! How come people don't talk about this lol others must know this can happen lol

Good thing we live close so my husband went home while I was in a bathroom cleaning myself up and got me change of clothes... Saved by the hubby!

Still can't believe this lol I was worried that I was constipated... Wow

Well on the plus side...not constipated! ????

@@UsernameTaken Oh no! This is one of my worst nightmares! Sorry you had to experience that... how are you recovering otherwise? Getting in your Protein and Water?

@@betterme38 I laughed when I read this comment. I mean, it's a fair point, but lol!

All of it was LoL lol can't believe it happened to me, I feel like now I have to go everywhere with change of clothes just in case lol and yes definitely not constipated lol

Whatever I was wearing went straight into trash can, glad my hubby is a trooper and worked fast to get me change of clothes.

Guess now every time I will need to pass gas will have to go to bathroom just to be safe.

Oh and I got all my protein in yesterday, but water not even close... Really working on it, I know how important it is to not get dehydrated but with my tiny little sips of warm water I feel like I can't get all that in. If I am on full liquids right now do I count fluids for my meals as well towards my fluids/water intake?

You must not have seen the warnings..."Never trust a fart!".

I'm sorry this happened but I did get a laugh. I've had GI issues in the past and we call that a Poopy 911. My boyfriend and I were driving home from vacation (4 hr drive) and about an hour in my stomach hurt. I asked him to pull off the highway to find a bathroom and within what felt like seconds - it was too late. I shit myself sitting in my car in front of a convenience store. Luckily I had clothes and a beach towel in the car and wrapped myself up and waddled to the bathroom. Not fun but we still laugh about it!

Yup for sure, just told my mom about it, she got a good laugh.. I am surprised my hubby is not embarrassed by all this, it's like as if it's an everyday thing for him... I am was more humiliated in front of him lol

I gotta say, I feel so much better now, but yes, lesson learned, I cannot trust s fart specially 5 days post op !

This is just too much, I love it! I can sooo see this happening to me and my husband lhao! (Laughing his ass off) ????

This has nothing to do with WLS however...when I was a teen at a friends house she was mowing the yard and was being goofy, she turned n thought she farted (I didn't know at the time hehe) nope she ran as fast as she could bowlegged to the bathroom. It was hilarious and I was wondering what she was doing so I went in n she was in the shower, yep she shit herself. Damn, them snake turds just sneak up on ya lol!! Knocking on wood as I write this

Cause by damn, I laugh and sooner or later I will be right there with ya that's my luck ????????????

@@UsernameTaken all your liquid counts - milk, shakes, soup, popsicles, etc. Yesterday I only drank 24 ounces of water but I had a TON of miso soup throughout the day, which all certainly added up to much more than the 64 ounce goal. It's just important to get liquid, doesn't have to be water.

Thanks, that makes it easier

The problem right now I have is that I get discomfort with cold drinks but warm in small sips are ok, so I am trying to drink more warm until I am all healed and the swelling goes away and can tolerate more cold drinks.

True,

However since I didn't know I had diarrhea, usually even before surgery I knew this could happen if I had diarrhea, but I thought I had constipation since I was a late bloomer within gas passing at the hospital etc. so definitely caught me off guard lol

@@UsernameTaken I understand completely, I know after I have had diarrhea I will go to the bathroom just to be sure that's what it is. I think your husband jumped into a great mode for you 100% and you did great. This will definitely be a go to laugh when needed for you n yours. It's just poo ww all do it
