Preop Liquid diet--diarrhea

[Elyse519 23]

I know it's TMI, but I just started my preop diet today and I have been in the restroom constantly, is anyone having this problem or had this problem? Tell me I'm not alone lol.

Yep... it was pretty bad for a few days there, but it got better... just stick with it. You will likely experience the opposite after surgery, i.e. nothing moving.

Yes I did! I remember rolling in to the operating room and telling the guy pushing the gurney that I wish I had taken an Immodium!

Oh yeah!!! Tomorrow is my last day of liquids and surgery on Thursday....I had diarrhea for the first few days and then it leveled off...good luck on your journey!

I share your same situation. One week before my surgery. We can do this. I had a nasty taste in my mouth,too. Finally took tums at bedtime, taste is gone; back to the liquids this morning.

Ketosis breath... nasty stuff.

How are you doing on the Bariatric Advantage Protein powder? I had a tough time with that stuff... could not get a handle on the taste/smell. Bought two bags from the clinic, only made it through 3/4 of a bag of chocolate. Ended up switching over to the Premier Protein ready to drink shakes post-op.

Hell I'm 7 days post op and I still have diarrhea. Its comes from not eating anything solid so your body absorbs the nutrients it needs and rids itself of what it doesn't need.

I'm sorry you are going through this, I didn't have any problem with the liquid diet. I thought I would but 2 days into it I was surprised about how easy it was and how good I felt. I am now 10 days post surgery and in on phase 2/puréed foods until next Tuesday when I progress again. Every step is worth it!

If you don't mind me asking, for your liquids diet what are you taking, I'm waiting for my insurance approval and I'm just trying to prepare for all this. And how long do you have to be on the liquid diet

sugar free popsicles, low to no sodium chicken broth (you don't want high blood pressure ), Protein shakes, skim, soy or unsweetened almond milk, Water of course, and sugar free jello! That's all I can think of.
