its gross

i am sorry to ask this but it is gross I am out 4 days and i couldnt pass gas or have a bowel movement so doc said milk of mag. took it now all i go it is slimy brown stinky runny form and i went about ten times is this normal. Sorry its gross to talk about but just worried

Sounds like what I experienced in the beginning...If you are on pure liquids, it will be funky like that at times.  Remember you had your insides rearranged, and your body has to adjust to the new arrangement, as well as your new diet.  Keep sipping your liquids, and make sure you get your minimum of it in.  In time, everything will adjust to some sort of normalcy. 

Also, don't be afraid to ask any icky questions here...that's what we are here for, and I believe almost everyone has had an icky question or two during their recuperation period.  Love doubles the joy, and divides the grief.

Hugs,

You will have lots of gross moments - don't worry about it...that's what we're here for.

WITHOUT milk of mag I had stinky green liquid bm's that, i kid you not, was soooo stinky....hubby got up at 2am after I had used the bathroom...got dressed...got in his car...went to a local 24 hour mart...and bought air freshener which we were out of....because even with the fan on and what not...the whole house reaked.

Once you are off liquids it will be better....liquid in, liquid out for the most part that is true.  Considering, however it is foamy...I wouldn't suggest taking any more...sounds like you didn't have a bm because there was very little in there to have.

Sorry Pam I couldn't help laughing at your post.  I guess this is what marriage is about the good the bad and the stinkies! When my husband makes comments I just look at him and say and yours doesn't smell.  I have stock in air fresheners.  Sunday papers coupon usually runs them no pun intended.

thanks for the funny replies. i think i got alot of the gas out of me lol
