Almost everybody, but don't worry, you'll have the opposite problem soon.

Thank you, I thought I was alone on this. My stomach has been on a trip.

I was just the opposite. I used BariEssentials with skim milk and was almost constipated.

Yes because your body is detoxing from all of those chemicals and unhealthy stuff. This also happens to my hubby during his first two days of juiceing.

Funny thing is I went raw juicing for 2 months and was good. But this detox is extra effective.

liquid in....liquid out. Should adjust after three or four days. Incidentally, at three or four days is when I experience a zero energy day...headache. That passes too.

Omg, I'm so glad to see someone else brought this up. I'm on day 8 of restricted diet, day four of liquid-only. Four Bariatric Advantage shakes a day and I can barely leave the bathroom. I'm embarrassed to say I had an accident while sleeping as well. Does this improve? Does anyone take a probiotic? I'm wondering if this would help my digestion. I took Imodium the first day but that did nothing. Help please! I'm about to go buy some adult diapers!!!

This has been the worst part of then pre op diet, glad to hear others are in the same boat. I was wondering also, if it was just me.

Thank you thank you thank you for posting this! Howard one stinkin shake, my first ever and I'm now combing the Internet to make sure I'm ok! Goodness! Can't wait till the day before surgery bowl prep! How on earth is anything else left inside?! That said my liquid diet starts on the 19th, in nine days from now but I think I'm going to do at least one to two shakes a day to get ready for it.

      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.
