4 Days post op and in need of help, Please!
I am 4 days post op, on liquids only, feeling very weak, I started last night with the worst diarhea I could ever imagine, each time I take a sip of anything, diarhea! I called the MD, he said it was possibly due to the whey in the unjury that I am using, can anyone recommend a good soy based protein suppliment, Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Congratulations on your surgery, Jane! I had terrible diarrhea as well right after surgery. It got so bad that I got dehydrated and ended up in the ER on day 7 postop. I took a dose of liquid imodium and that settled things down some. I needed one more dose and it cleared right up. Check with your surgeon before you try it-
Once you start the full liquid phase, it'll get better, too.
Good luck!

I am having the same problem. I am 8 days post op and absolutely everything I take in comes right back out. I am not financially stable to go to the health food stores and get the special kinds of supplements, and the one I have here is supposed to be mixed with milk...I am wondering if tehre is a chewable or dissolvable kind of protein out there.
