liquids and pureed went great and i felt great only issue has been Constipation, saw my doc friday and he said add a stool softener. Today i have severe diarehha its like Water and I cant get far from the toilet.I had some nausea yesterday and some loose stools last night. Friday was my first day on soft foods I first thought maybe it was the soft scrambled egg for Breakfast Saturday but now im wondering is it the stool softeners or something else anyone else had this issue Id love some input? Today ive only had some oatmeal one Protein Shake and some pureed mashed potatoes with meatloaf and gravy about 1/2 cup.

I have had the same issue with stool softeners. Suggestion to take every other day is good. You might also try some Fiber gummies or something like that to add fiber to your intake rather than the stool softener.

Be real careful what you puree. It very well could be the potatoes and gravy. Your system might not have been able to process the fats and carbs in it. That can cause diarrhea, sometimes quite severe. I also agree to back up on the stool softeners. I took 1 a day for about week and had no issues, but I could see that taking one a day could cause to a dam break if you get my meaning...

I would stay away from the stool softeners, you want to try natural things. I was having problems with Constipation, so bad I had to be hospitalized and I ended up with stitches, but know I eat black berries and I go daily with no diarrhea or any other problems.

      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.
