GI distress

 I have mostly had green leafy veggies, protein drinks and water for 5 days.  I was a little constipated from my iron until today.  Now I have diarrhea.  Am I getting a stomach bug or is this normal?  I feel ok, but my surgery is in 5 days so I'm worried.  I have had a little solid food the last 2 days, but maybe not enough?   Any experience or insight to this embarrassing question?

I wouldn't worry about it..probably just not enough solid food now that your body is cleaned out..If you don't have a fever or develop one that is the main thing..not only that but they will pump you up with antibiotics before they do the surgery so you will be just fine...

 Thanks.  I'm sure I'll be okay.  I don't have a fever or even feel sick.  It probably is just the diet change.

My problem is alway constapation, not diarrhea so I'm not much help.  I do know that the liquid diet and high protein plays havock with folks and I imagine that is what is going on.   If you spike a fever, let someone know but otherwise, you should be fine.

 Quick update.  My tummy settled down an hour or so before bed last night.  We will see what today brings.  Thanks for the replies.  I was so worried I would have to cancel my surgery for a stupid stomach bug!    

Glad to hear your feeling better!
