No more Constipation, NOW diarrhea :/



Recommended Posts

So I fixed my Constipation problem with a gentle laxative and some pineapple juice and now I have diarrhea! I am 10 days post surgery, and although I'm glad to be having any bm's at all, I want to be regular again! Will that ever happen? Will it get better once I start eating some actual food?

that sucks. from one extreme to another. are you on mushy's yet? when you eat more solids, it will get better. stay away from the laxatives, obviously :)

For mushies I had tuna, pastina, potatoes, I even had finely ground hamburger with sour cream and taco seasoning. Retried Beans are mentioned often, as it humus

Thanks for the ideas! I am soooo tired of Soups though :( I haven't had any noodles though...I guess I'm tired of the whole broth and creamy things. Haha the beef and sourcream sound delish! Any more ideas??? I'm thinking of making a fish Soup that I pulled off line, it sounds really good.

Just googled Pastina cause I didn't know what it was, maybe I can add that to my fish Soup. I thought we weren't suppose to have rice or Pasta? Is it okay to have in week 3?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
