2 days post op-question

I got home today and immediately headed for the bathroom. At the hospital they kept asking if I had any gas to pass and I didn't...but as soon as I got home, I had gas and a whole lot more! So far I've gone to the bathroom twice--exactly the same as it was after the bowel prep. I called the coordinator but don't expect to hear from her until tomorrow. Is it normal to have runny poops right after surgery? Thanks, you can email me at [email protected]

I am 7 days post-op and this is normal the doctor says--it has alleviated now today--more walking and I went to class for four hours--use amodium ad chewables 2x after each bm also gas x chewables will be your friend--- jill knapp

Yes, very normal during my first week. I averaged 3-5 daily. Not meaning to be gross but I had my first solid BM this morning and it had been 3 days since any movement at all. I had my surgery on June 4th and still feeling a little sore. Good luck.

Hey Hey Love; I Have to laugh at your question. I am nearly 8 months out and the runny poops as you put them are still here. That may be the way it is for quite some time but the trade off of a 100 plus pound weight loss is worth nearly everything I have gone thru including the runny poops. Enjoy what is going to be truly the happiest and most growing days of the rest of your life. Glad to have you here on the other side. Good luck in all your endeavors. Frankie - California
