I had a total abdominal hysterectomy (including ovaries) earlier this week and the surgery also involved separating my bowel from PoD (I think). The first couple of days I was very sick when I ate drank anything so they put me nil by mouth for 36hours to give me bowels a chance to 'wake up' as they weren't processing anything. I'm now back home and got the exact opposite problem - terrible diarrhoea. Literally a few sips of water goes straight through me. Is this normal? How long will it last? Any tips to help it ease off? I'm literally exhausted
