Pre Op Diet Loose Stools

[bschearer 3]

This may be a little TMI, but I am on day 3 of my 4 day pre op liquid diet and this morning i started having diarrhea. Was wondering if this has been normal for some people? I have surgery on Tuesday 4/14 /15

Not for me. I have to add benefiber to my Protein Shakes. That's working so far to keep things "normal".

Yes but I figure that's normal. liquid diet, liquid.......

It happened to me too. I just summed it up to not having anything solid going in!

I'm only 5 days out and it hasn't really stopped, it just isn't (as much) bc there's not much going in at this point! ????

Good Luck to you!!

Me too. liquid in- liquid out.

It is the opposite for me. i am on week 4 of my 5 week pre-op diet and if i do not take benefiber i feel like i am dying with every BM. i think my body was so used to all the unhealthy crap that it became learned to wok with it, and now that i only have shakes and veggies going in it is trying to figure out it's new normal lol!

I'm the same but only day 5 of 2 week liquid diet. I wish I had the other problem!
