WARNING....THIS MAY BE TMI........

Need some input......I'm on day 1 of the clear diet protocol........and complete diarrhea......is anyone else having this?

I don't feel ill' date=' no temperature.......feels like when I did a colonoscopy.......everytime I drink, 5 minutes later I'm heading to the bathroom.....I'll call the dr's in the morning.....but wondering if anyone else is having this too.

Thanks![/quote']

Are you drinking too much artificial sweetener? Chewing too much gum? I had it the first day bad (but I also took a laxative in the morning) -- was better the 2nd day (only a little, once).

I had that problem too.. It's normal.. Because your basically cleaning out your system. Just keep hydrated and think of the goal!

:-D

I wished I had some travel wed mild mouthwash. The combo of ketosis and surgery left me with something less than a fresh mouth :)

And I promise you, I do actually know how to spell. Combo of autocorrect on iPad, and one day post op not a good one :)

PattGee, I am scheduled for surgery Thursday. Start my liquid pre op tomorrow. My dr told me to take milk of mag too. I thought he said tomorrow night, which is 2 days before surgery. How close to surgery do you have to take it?

I'd call them to verify it.....Mine told me to take it this afternoon (the day before surgery).

yamgirl.....the hospital should call you today to confirm the time.....wish I had no m.o.m. for me, too LOL

Wishing you all well....I'll probably be surfing again at 2 a.m. when I can't sleep because I'm too excited/anxious for tomorrow! Good luck everyone!

This has been the longest work day ever!! I am not really scared about surgery but very restless today. I have no focus. I have to be there at 6 am tomorrow. I am so excited. Glad I am the first surgery of the day.

Prayers with all the August 6'ers!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
