Kind of a gross question



Recommended Posts

Okay...so Im on my mushies now, which was a little difficult this past weekend as we had to travel out of town, so maybe that is why this happened.

Anyhow...yesterday we were in the car driving through the rainstorm in Kansas and my stomach started gurgling. I knew I was going to have to go to the bathroom SOON! I had severe diarrhea, where I literally could not have held it for a minute longer. Is this normal?? Maybe because I ate something I shouldnt have??? I NEVER want to live through those moments again!

Thanks!

Tonya

That has happened to me a few times, usually after I've tried to eat something different than what I was used to. What did you eat before that?

Well, yesterday morning I just had some scrambled eggs. I am still supposed to be in the mushy phase. So the problem was over the weekend, traveling, I wasnt always in charge of what I ate (we had to eat out a lot and at people's homes) so I was trying hard to stay with mushy food, but didnt always manage. I just wondered if it was because I ate more solid food than I should have or if this is a common occurrence?

I'm guessing it was because your stomach wasn't ready for anything solid yet. It does happen, but not too often, in my experience. Don't worry, you're fine! If happens more regularly, give your doc a call, but I wouldn't really worry.

Thanks Carrie! It was quite disconcerting being on the turnpike with no where to stop and having that feeling hit! Yikes! Thank God for a quick husband! lol

LOL I can imagine! :bored: Hopefully you won't have to deal with that again. And you know, maybe being on the road made your stomach a little more sensitive too! Good luck!

I had the worst diarrhea ever on and off until I was back on solids. Eating just mushies, a few solids, and drinking a lot (usually more than most of us drank before) doesn't give your systems enough solids yet. It should get better with more solids...I never have a problem now.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
