Diahrea and incontinense

Normally it is the opposite problem. Not going for days. I have to take a stool softener everyday.

Like the previous poster, Constipation is more of an issue for me.

I've been on a liquid diet now for almost a month. And still have close to a month to go. Biggest problem in this regard has without a doubt been Constipation. I was worried about the same thing but no such issue so far.

I had severe diarrhea for 4 weeks straight. It started with my pre op diet. For those 2 weeks and 2 weeks after my surgery I was in constant misery. Several times a day I almost didn't make it. At my 2 week post op Dr visit my doctor stopped the Protein shakes. From that day I never had diarrhea again. I am not lactose intolerant, I was having problems with the make up of the shakes.

I was extremely concerned with how severe it is. The instant something entered my mouth I was in the bathroom. I feel for you. I can't see your stats if you have any because I'm on my phone. Talk to your Dr.

I am 4 weeks post op and 100% better now. Good luck with finding what works for you. I know how you feel.

No problems for me. On my liquid diet I had diarrhoea, and after taking Gaviscon I had Constipation. Since then I poop normally every 2 days.

      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.
