Question about 2 week liquid diet

[Zoumommy 61]

I'm on day 7 of my 2 week liquid diet and I'm finding everything is running through me. I don't have a gallbladder so this has always been an issue but it's amped up a notch on this liquid diet, did anyone else experience this?

I had this problem on my preop diet. For dinner I started having a small salad with Protein in it. It helped.

Ask your nut or surgeon if there is anything you could add to your diet that would help. I was allowed leafy green veggies and I think this helped with regulation. If your surgeon won't budge, maybe benefiber would help. Easy to mix with your fluids and soluble Fiber helps with both diarrhea and Constipation. (Definitely don't take insoluble fiber like psyllium, though!). Or maybe a dose or two of Imodium to slow down your bowels.

No gallbladder here and I'm like that all the time. I don't start my pre-op diet until the 4th but I know that my Protein Shakes give me diarrhea anyway. I've tried all kinds. A lady on here recommended questran. It's a powder you mix into liquid and drink. By Rx only

I had that issue, gallbladder intact. I just made sure to stay hydrated and in front of it.
