TMI - 1 week PO bowel movements

Y’all, 😩 I’m one week post op today, and between yesterday and today I’ve had, LITERALLY, completely liquid bowel movements. Like, thought I needed to pass gas and.. yikes. Is there anything I can do to help this???

Oh yeah, this does happen. It seems to be no movement or all movement. My friend’s first week was just like yours. She wore the disposal incontinent pants to avoid mishaps & surprise leakage. She said it improved a lot in the second week because she started adding some benefibre to her shakes. The fibre seemed helped to solidify all the fluids.

May be worth a go. To see if it works for you. Good luck. There’ll very soon come a time when you’ll pray for any movement at all. 😁 Aaah, the joys of this journey.
