This is my first post on here and it is about diarrhea. lol Woohoo, go me, way to break the ice! So I am really embarrased about this but I am 2 days preop and on day 4 out of 5 of the liquid diet. I woke up this morning with diarrhea and it has been going on all day now. I was just wondering if anybody had this problem or if something is wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think it's just your body reacting to "non" food. With a little bit of nerves thrown in. Imodium should help but if you're still "going" tomorrow you might want to ask the Dr.

Thanks Jerseygirl.

Yup, I was explosive the 36 hours before surgery. It wasn't pleasant but didn't kill me. Hey, some people have to take stuff to "clean 'em out" pre-op, you're just a step ahead! Good luck!!!!!

Yeahhhh....I've been on a liquid diet for 2 weeks now and it's been nothing but diarrhea. Bleh. PLUS I was on some monster antibiotics last week (to get rid of my cold/cough!) and that was NOT fun. BUT 14 lbs in 2 weeks? I'll deal with the diarrhea!!

Just think...liquid in means liquid out LOL :frown:

I read up on it when I was having this problem in my pre-op liquid diet stage. It's actually very common. The main thing you WANT to remember is to make sure you're hydrating yourself enough. When you have diarrhea, you're body's losing a lot of your water & could cause you to get dehydrated. We don't want that, now do we? I continued with the diarrhea until I started on the mushie food stage. It was never overly horrible, but trust me, it goes away! If you're that concerned, contact your doctor! That's what he's there for.
