Congrats on your wls! I was banded on 9/11 and did not experience that. I'm curious why your dr isn't having you drink the Isopure clear liquid Protein the first week.

Sometimes you can get loose bowels if you ingest too much fake sugar - I can't think of the name of it but it doesn't seem like your having that - although maybe the crystal light? I would check with your doctor. You don't want to get dehydrated.

Good luck!

oh child...take a breath.....i was the bathroom queen...spent my first few days post op hoping i made it to the potty

with my dr's ok, i took immodium ad to help and also took a probiotic capsule (that i opened and mixed with my Protein shake) and that really helped me. since this is happening, stay hydrated and sip sip and drink all you can.

it does get better i promise

I had it too for the first few weeks. If we are only drinking fluids it makes sense, Fluid in, fluid out. Once I started on more solid foods I settled. Just make sure you keep your Water intake up so you don't dehydrate and if it doesn't settle in a week or so contact your clinic.

      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.
