liquid diet bathroom issues

[jingleboob 5]

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..

Thanks for the tip! I think I'm going to have to pick up some of those! I see that you were banded in July! How are you doing with your band?

Im doing good..just have a problem with eating too fast and PBing.

I have my appetite back now but its still not as bad as before surgery.

I get my first fill aug 19th..hope that helps wth the weight loss. Ive weighed the same thing to the ounce for 2 weeks.

Hows things going with you?

Are you getting nervous?

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!

Hi everyone. I am on day number 3 and the "liquid" began last night and hasn't subsided. Guess I'm a member of the club as well! Ugh.:party:

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.
