The pre-op diet is killing me bathroom wise



Recommended Posts

I was afraid of this, liquid in, liquid out. I am holding off on eating anything but yogurt & broth basically at work because the shakes really do make me run for the bathroom. I have tried a few kinds and they are all doing it, is this normal? I am on day 5.

I have the opposite problem. The Protein brings me to screeching halt. In the pre-op I ate clementines a couple times a day to help, but now I can't. I am going after broccoli to steam tomorrow and see if that helps. :(:blink:

I didn't have this problem mine is the opposite. The Protein Shakes really constipate me instead.

It may be the type of shake you are drinking. I have a couple different pre mixed shakes that I do and one has that effect on me. I save it for when I'm going to be home alone, lol. The other ones I have no issues with.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
