I’m 7 days out from RNY and I had not had a BM yet. My nurse said to take a dose of milk of magnesia which I did around 1 pm. At 3pm I had a BM but it was diarrhea. I’ve had diarrhea ever since and it’s almost midnight. I haven’t taken in any protein since 3 as I felt ill and was more concerned about staying hydrated. Also my stool is dark brown and all liquid. I don’t know what to do.

All of our stools were dark brown due to blood. Just let it pass it will get better.

And it takes a while for things to settle down You will revert to brown ?poo soon!

It'll be more normal soon. It's just a transition from your body undergoing major surgery.
