5 day post op question

I was feeling very well and today I was able to get 32 oz of water and one SF popsicle. Working pn a 20oz vitamin water now

Around 7:00pm I got a bout of sever diarrhea -felt what spme people describe as dumping but I haven't eaten anything in seven days

Also, my stomach is very sore -not really different than it has felt earlier in the week with respect to the pain when drinking too fast or the gurgling but now ot feels "sore". Like from the surgery

Has anyone e.se felt this?

Every one is different, but that all sounds normal/similar to my first week post op.  Just remember - liquid in, liquid out. And never trust a fart. :)

Take your liquid pain killers when you need them, and soon the soreness will be just an awareness and not as much an inconvenience. 

If you're not on an acid blocker, consider asking your surgeon about Prilosec, etc.  I take one between 7-8 pm every night and the difference is amazing.  I also relied on my Gas-X chewables which seemed to help with the noises and surprisingly even some of the gas/diarrhea.

Congrats and best of luck!

 i am 5 days out and can get in about 400 oz fluid and throw in a sugar free popsicle or jello. i take a sublingual previcid every day, gas x strips and have used my liquid pain killers also. i started having liquid stools on day 2. not fun! absolutely don't trust a fart during the liquids stage. :) good luck!

 that was supposed to be 40 oz of fluids! oops!
