Everything you're eating is a liquid, and liquids just don't stick around that long.

Well, mine kinda did, but I was never an "every day" type of girl, anyway.

Rejoice in your frequent BMs. I finally had one last week after over 2 weeks of nothing. You so don't want to be there...

Just want to warn before hand it might be a little gross, but I need to know if this ok, for the past three days I have been going to the bathroom twice a day having a very loose and watery stool. All I have been having is crystal light energy Water, Jello and broth. Should I be worried of the frequency since I am eating so little or is this normal? Thanks for everyone who answers

I know this sounds nieve, and I don't know why I didn't think About it before but my surgeon everytime he would see me he would ask " have you had a bowel movement" my answer was no. I was sleeved on May 1st so I'm 6 days out. I didn't have one til I got home. And omg it has been Water ever since. Even on the 2 two week liquid diet prior it was not like this. Imsure. I'm just adjusting to my new stomach. Maybe it cease when I'm able to introduce more solid foods. But I must say this is the part of the surgery and after that no one tells you about, or even prepares u for.

      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.
