@@h.brooks661989 What are you allowed on your diet? Be sure you are getting in plenty of fluids and don't get dehydrated. Also - Protein Shakes can sometimes constipate you - you may want to ask about taking a stool softener or benefiber.

That can back up quickly! Previous post was what I would have said. Just want to add that Miralax is ano there good option.

I am on day 4 of the pre-op liquid diet. I hadn't really gone much the past few days, but today my stomache started hurting and I had to go. Not only is it the Protein shakes, but I think also just the shock to oyur body from going from eating to just liquids.
