Froggi 4 Posted November 29, 2008 It didn't end until I was out of the liquid stages. Liquid in, liquid out. Once I start adding creamier liquids and such in the full liquids and mushies will it get some better? I start full liquids on Monday. Have been on clear all this week.

BethFromVA 5 Posted November 29, 2008 Posting to ask a not so nice question... Did anyone here have problems post op with diarrhea during their liquid stages and if so when did it end. I'm being tortured. I didn't until day before yesterday, but I don't know if that's because I took some Milk of Magnesia the day before because I wasn't going. It was something my doctor's office listed as something to get, along with stool softeners (which I didn't do). But it ended that day and I haven't had it since. You aren't the only one I've heard have that problem, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BethFromVA 5 Posted November 29, 2008 Once I start adding creamier liquids and such in the full liquids and mushies will it get some better? I start full liquids on Monday. Have been on clear all this week. So I'm guessing you can't have Protein Drinks yet? I was able to have those since my operation, so I'm sure that helps -- and I have been getting a good 80+ grams of Protein a day. Monday will be here soon or I would have suggested the Unjury unflavored protein, since I think you could just put that in Water or other clear liquid.

*slim* 2 Posted November 29, 2008 Once I start adding creamier liquids and such in the full liquids and mushies will it get some better? I start full liquids on Monday. Have been on clear all this week. I was like Beth, once I hit fuller liquids and mushies, I stopped up. Badly. Make sure you have something at home to help with that. It is so uncomfortable.

Froggi 4 Posted November 29, 2008 I've been on Protein Shakes in small amounts since day 2 of post op. It's so hard to get Protein in because I am just not hungry. I get full so easily. I can't wait until Monday when I can have blended Soups yummm lol and pudding Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
