WARNING THE LAST ONE COULD BE A BIT GRAPHIC FOR SOME!

I know I should ask my DR all of this but I doubt he is in his office today and since I'm not in any pain I didnt see where I should bother him unless theres pain or a fever above 101 Ok so did any of you have the shakes like you were freezing to death? I did this in the hospital and now again at home... wondering if its my inside body temp trying to regulate with the outside temp????? everytime I have took it having these trembles Its been like 99.4 or soemthing close to that. question 2 Did any of you have night sweats right after you came home and why am I having them? Question 3.. I have no problem laying on either side... you think since it doesnt hurt it should be ok?  last one I promise... ************be warned its a lil GRAPHIC**************************** so I have runny bowels.. do you think its because thats all I am taking in is liquids?

What you are describing sounds like your body is trying to adjust.  If you have liquid tynelol then try taking that.  If it continues than by all means call your surgeon.  You do not want to get any infections.  Consuming nothing but liquids can't help but produce a liquid return at first.  Please, call your surgeon if you do not get relief SOON.

I SHOOK after surgery, but as Gwen said, if you continue, call your M.D.
Lying on either side should be okay...even if you don't feel pain.
Runny bowels...just keep an eye on them.  Let your M.D. know if it continues.  Could be many things causing the runny bowels.
BEST WISHES!

Jennifer, you will freeze for the first year post op, even in 100 degree weather.
It's just the nature of this beast. Shaking is not to uncommon coming off of anesthesia. It might take a little while to totally get it out of your system. You know what is normal for you...if the shaking is not normal keep an eye out. 

Not hurting is ALL GOOD!!!!

I still have night sweats. I think your hormones are totally outta whack right now and while you are in the drastic weight loss phase for the next good year, expect many a night sweats. Your hormones are gonna be giving you a good butt kickin!

Runny bowels are not umcommon during liguid phase just make sure you stay hydrated!!!!!!!
