Singlemama 21 Posted June 23, 2012 I'm 5 days out, on a clear liquid diet. And starting this morning, any time I drink something that isn't plain Water, I end up running to the bathroom and being in there for awhile emptying out. Sorry if TMI. I just hurt so bad. I had some broth at lunch, almost instantaneously it seemed to go through me. Whats the deal? 1 MinaT reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cookies 56 Posted June 23, 2012 What goes in comes out, unfortunately, and you're on all liquids. The high Protein stuff affects some people that way as well. I had the same issue for several weeks. Well, I had the problem until I got on soft food really. Now I have the opposite problem sometimes. This too shall pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MinaT 669 Posted June 23, 2012 Yep, I'm 18 days out, when I have my first shake in the morning, I get about an ounce gagged down and I am in the bathroom. I hold the wall and the sink because gosh only knows the sounds and force and just a little Water comes out sometimes and the gas and whatever comes out makes me groan sometimes and grunt and it sounds like I'm fighting something in the bathroom. I have a husband and son and they have never had to deal with me running to the bathroom before like this and sometimes they snicker at the voluntary and involuntary noises coming out of the bathroom. As you start getting thicker and heavier food, it will stop being so liquidy. One thing I would like you to know, what you are dealing with is actually a whole lot better than Constipation. That is even more painful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicagochic 73 Posted June 23, 2012 Are you drinking dairy-based Proteins? I became lactose intolerant after the surgery as a lot is sleevers. Consider that too! 1 PEvette reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
