Wow, I sure don't. I had the exact opposite reaction to the liquid diet. Let's just say for me it was lots of liquid in and lots of liquid out. Sorry you're having to deal with this. :(

After surgery, while on all liquids it was still liquid in, liquid out. Now that I'm a few months post-op, I've settled down into pretty much regularity. I am very careful about making sure I get plenty of Water and Fiber every day otherwise things do start to slow down. A lot!

But since I started taking a Fiber supplement every day, things are running smoothly. Lol.

I'm drinking nectar strawberry kiwi it's the only thing that doesn't make me gag. You can get it at Vitamin shoppe they have a bunch of flavors!

And it's just been taking me a couple days to go, I was used to going every day and now it's like every 2 days.

I had the same issue and it persisted post op. I found that a supplement called fibermucil worked for me. It's a capsule( so you have to wait for clearance post op), but 2 capsules in the morning and plenty of Water have made me much happier. You can order it from HSN.com or pro caps laboratories. I'd ask your NUT or surgeon for advice now, maybe they'll suggest colace or miralax for you. Good luck!

Hey I know your post was from a few months ago, but did you have any luck with your Constipation pre op and how are you doing post op if you don't mind me asking? I am on day 2 of my liquid diet and I haven't had a bowel movement since Sunday.. Yikes! If you had any feedback I'd highly appreciate it! Thanks!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
