Recommended Posts

I Keep pooping. It's 10:30 and I've had diarrhea 3 x today. It's not smelly or anything. Should I be concerned?

The single serving serving drink flavors like crystal light have always given me diarrhea. I don't even plan to try them again. I can do unsweetened kool aid with splenda. I've never heard of anyone else having that problem though.

If your on all liquids then no, its normal. Poop wont go to turd form until your eating solids.

I had it for a good 2 months straight and my dr knew, saying you wont have a turd until your actually eating food again, and even then it will be every 3-4 days until you get your calories up to a good 800-1000 for most.

Thanks,! I called my dr and she told me to start full liquids. Just made some super soupy cream of wheat. It's the most delicious thing in the entire world.

ikr, @mommyjamie that first bite of "real" food afterwards is heavenly! but as you know, you are completely normal... once you start on the solids you may experience constipations (written about a LOT on here) so you may want to add Miralax or something when that happens! Just to warn you....

Be careful. Constipation usually follows. And its bad. Like Fukushima bad. Be sure to address it early.

I used miracle fiber in my shakes. Its just a clear tasteless powder from the Vitamin shoppe. Aloe versa juice is good if you can stand 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.
