liquid diet bathroom issues

I've read several people complaining of their bathroom troubles on the liquid diet... liquid in, liquid out...

I understand now.

I'm almost afraid to be far from a bathroom, I've had a couple of near accidents at home today.

Will adding benefiber help or make it worse? Does anyone have any "solidifying" tips?

I thought I was the only one with that problem. I was in the bathroom so much last Sunday that I guess I got dehydrated or something. I almost passed out in my kitchen floor. I felt incredibly weak.

I started taking Citrucel and it helped a lot.

Weird....I am completely the other way! I haven't eaten a solid since last Saturday and I've been completely constipated! I've been #2 about 2 times all week!

jennay please let me tell you how another poster helped me..I went the first 6 days with nothing took milk of magnesia went that day and then went 5 more days with nothing..then someone posted to buy Fiber select gummies..I got mine at walgreens. I chew 2 every morning and like clock work im right on time. I havent missed a day yet and I feel so much better. They taste kinda like Gummy bears and are fruity flavored. I think I paid like 11.99 for 90 of them. Hope this helps you as much it did me..

One thing I learned today is if you think you are going to have just air passing when you are on an all liquid diet and 3 days post surgery- its not just air. ICK.

Luckily- I was wearing a pad because OF COURSE I start my period a week early. Im on the freaking pill and I still started a week early so that little bit of annoyance helped avoid a huge mess to clean up because of course I was laying down in bed when it happened. LOL!

Ugh, you were allowed to continue with your pill? I had to stop 2 weeks before surgery and can't start up again until a month after surgery.

I also have had horrible issues in the bathroom, it's completely liquid and will be the color of the Isopure that I'm drinking that day. Hopefully it becomes more solid and things will get back to normal!

I got orange sugar free citrucel today and am adding it to at least 1 Protein Shake a day... I made one for dinner with orange sunrise crystal light, vanilla Protein Powder, some sugar free fat free powdered french vanilla Creamer, a packet of splenda,and the metamucil... blended on ice it was like a creamsicle!! Hopefully this will help with the... issue... ick.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
