    Default Diarrhea

    So weird question, has anyone experienced diarrhea after the surgery. I have to fly back to Canada from San Diego so I just want to prepare myself for anything lol.

    I have really only read about diarrhea post-op as an occasional thing. What I read more of (and experience myself) is actually constipation. This has been attributed to medications and the difficulty consuming all your fluids. The only time I had diarrhea post op was when I took milk of magnesia to get things moving due to constipation and I took too much LOL. That was not a pleasant day.

    Hi, I had it for 2 weeks while on that post-op liquid diet. It was more like loose Bowles. Go one or twice a day.

    I did twice. Once was the first soft food I ate post op so around day 10 and I can't remember the second time but it was early on. Most people experience constipation. I suffered from constipation for about 10 months post op.
