Anyone have loose BMs?

I feel very lucky...my surgery went perfect.  I feel perfect a week  later and have never felt sick or puked.  I feel perfectly normal like I never even had surgery.

I had surgery last Wed.    I did not have a BM till yesterday.  I had one solid one and then several loose ones yesterday.  Nothing so far today.  Is this normal? 

Denise,

This is very normal.  It will become normal within the week.  If you go more than 2 days without having one, you should call the Dr and make sure that Milk of Magnesia or prune juice are ok for you to take.

THANKS!

So, it is not just because of my protein shakes?  In my info packet it said that loose stool is common for up to 2 weeks after surgery but then it went on to say that if you have loose stool you should stop drinking your protein shakes for 24 hours and then switch to a different brand. 

I do not want to switch to a different brand because I LIKE the Isopure, I am very lactose intolerant so my options are limited and I already bought 6 canisters.   I know that Isopure is a really great one and very popular too.      I was on my protein shakes only starting at day 5.  I also was mixing them with only crystal light...so that so 60 ounces of crystal light in 2 days...I think that was too much.  So I am cutting the CL in 1/4.  When I drank them my stomach did not hurt and I did not have increased gas either.


Thanks!

I'm not always so good at taking my protein shakes.  I get the loose stools too.  It has happened to me twice and it's always after a solid BM.
