Diarrhea post surgery?

Trina

So I’m going to be having my 3rd section in a few weeks and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced what I have.

For both of my first two sections I had quite bad diarrhea starting about 24hrs post surgery. The first time the docs/nurses were just like “odd” but it cleared up within a day or so, I think because I was on T3’s. My second time I got it again and it didn’t clear up, it lasted for three days, until it finally stopped when I was switched from extra strength Tylenol to T3’s because my pain (mostly because of the diarrhea) wasn’t manageable.

Anyone else get this? I’d really like to plan ahead this time and try and figure out why I get this and how to prevent it! It’s SO painful, both because of the cramping in my stomach and the fact that I have to try and get up fast and make it to the bathroom. :(
