Topic: RE: Severe Diarrhea 5 days post op is this normal?
I have had 3 BM's since surgery on the 25th. I think because I cleaned myself out so well prior to surgery --- almost a week on liquid diet, that there really is not much in there to come out. I think I would call the Doc tomorrow if I were you. Drink gatorade mixed with water so you do not get dehydrated. {{{HUGS}}}

Hello All,
Ok this is a question that I really need help with! I had surgery on November 25th. Recovery has been normal for the most part. Now here is the problem I have -- I have had SEVERE DIARRHEA every since I had surgery... I am still on all clear liquids until Tuesday. Any advice or suggestions?

For Thanksgiving I had about an oz of dark turkey meat (chewed to mush) and a baby red potato with the skin removed. I did okay, sounds like everyone else did too!

Thanks, Ellen! I am so glad you added your real name, BTW!
I think that the worst part for me was the day before bowel prep! That was way worse than anything I had to endure since!

Also, I put 2 scoops in my SF/FF pudding! That really helps to get it in!

I am so sorry that you had to endure this! I know though, in a year from now when you have lost so much weight, you won't even remember back to the pain of 11/08! Prayers for a speedy recovery!

Topic: RE: So How is everyone doing?
I subscribed to your youtube, since I saw your post last night. You can look at mine if you want the full scoop on how I am, but the short of it is GREAT.
I will be two weeks out on Wed. My staples are the only thing bothering me. I still get a little tugging from the incisions, but I can't complain.
I am getting around good, my energy is not quite back up to par. ALL IS WELL!
I am glad to see from your videos that you are doing well too.
Topic: RE: Water Intake?
You know what I am glad to hear that someone else feels like water goes down horribly. I haven't been able to take water in normally since before surgery. I think I will try and attempt some of the things you have tried this week and see if it makes a difference.
Topic: RE: So How is everyone doing?
LOL! That is the first thing I thought of when she asked what your user name was. If I am thinking of the same song of apologize with timbaland and one republic it is still one of my favs. I had it set as my myspace song for the longest time.
Topic: RE: Hello
My biggest advice is to not push yourself to get back into everyday life. I think that was a big mistake I made by trying to accomplish too much before I was ready and it hindered my healing.
At first I felt like I was so thirsty I couldn't drink enough and sipping was difficult. The best thing is to take it slow and work on it all day.
Good luck!
