2 days post op

Hi, just had a question, want to know is it normal to have loose stools when you come home? Actually had them the whole time I was on clear liquids pre-op but really didn't think anything of it. Now I'm getting worried. HELP

Hi Theresa, I had loose stools and constipation post op, I was offered Benefiber w/calcium chewable and since then I've used them and become more regular. Your body is going through a huge adjustment, hold on tight and it will work out. Michelle

hi yes you will have that tell you get to real food. but you will be fine as long as you drink drink.

Yes, it is very normal...Not to be gross but liquids in ....liquids out....That is where alot of the initial weight came off for me.. Good luck Dave

Amazing isn't it? We really never know what to expect. I did the liquid diet 2 days pre-op, 2 days in the hospital then 2 days post-op. 6 days total. I was sure I'd never have another bm ever. After eating 1 tablespoon of oatmeal/flaxseed and crushed Actigal for a couple of days, WOW, that end worked normal for the 1st time ever. No more IBS. No more meds, no more loose stools for me. Thank you Jesus. I am post-menopasal so I don't have to do extra iron. I do take a stool softner twice a week just to ensure everything goes smoothly. I eat 3/4 cup oatmud everyday and I can honestly say I love it and so do my bowels. Life is good. Take this oppurtunity to start good habits and treat yourself to all the benefits of becoming healthy. Stay positive & focused. Post any questions and let us know all those WOW moments.
