I am 4 days past surgury and today has been a great day, for the most part. I am feeling just a little tired but that is to be expected. I could really REALLY do without the explosive diareha. How long does this last? Between that and the gas I am still working out I am too scared to leave my bedroom. Please tell me this ends!!!

It lasted about three days for me, Stay close to home. LOL Welcome to the site. Donna

godd luck with your recovery gin

I think I would wish for the explosive diarrehea at this point, as I am 6 days out and constipated. I know I am not taking in enough liquids, but I just can't get the fluids down.

Yeah, I could see that being a problem, too! Have you tried the benefiber chewable tablets?

LOL Ginger!! I know exactly what you mean!! I thought I had to pass gas and oops it wasn't gas! I was so embaressed my mom had to help me shower :-(. It hasn't gotten much better though and its day 5 but now I just try and go everytime I go to the bathroom. :-) Glad somebody posted this!

Hey, at least I am getting a lot of Soduka puzzles done (in an effort to look on the bright side) LOL

Sounds like you guys are having quite the party!

Well actually had Milk of Magnesia today, the pharmacist said it wouldn't react with my medicine. Also had about 10oz Soup, 8oz Water, and two ice pops.

Guess what, two hours later, bam the explosion. Had to go into the shower after that, but the pain was gone. LOL

Good times, good times.:heh:

I had it, too...YUCK! It is just all those liquids running right through you! Just think of the weight you are losing...lol. I still have it a little, but I think adding just those few solids to my diet helped a TON! And this, too, shall pass.....

You are on solids already?

I still can't get down Protein drinks but practically melted a Ritz cracker in my tasty, salty chicken boullion today.

I am at work, so sucking down tea and boullion. Had a hot chocolate, but still can't stomach anything heavier.

Oh, and no explosion or pluggage today.:speechles

And this, too, shall pass.....

Literally and figuratively!

Ok now in your hell. Nothing but liquid coming out. :sick Can't even call it diarrhea. This was my day up until 10 minutes ago:

2 cups tea, 4 cups Water, 1 Carnation Instant Breakfast with whole and skim milk mixed, 2 cups chicken boullion, 1 Slim Fast.

In the past 20 minutes, trying to see if I can firm myself up: Vitamin Water grapefruit/cranberry, half the bottle, 10 ritz crackers I let melt in my mouth, 2 very thin slices of Velveeta cheese.

I have nothing else in the house. I know the old diarrhea cure is Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast. I don't have any of those here.:help:
