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?

Oh boy .. I planned on 2 weeks off post op, no one mentioned I would need the week preop as well... ugh

I had to do 10 days pre-op and then 2 days prior to surgery clear liquid diet, now I'm finishing up my 7 day clear post-op diet and moving onto full-liquids on Tuesday.

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!

Here i thought i was the only one drinking Isopure and it looking the same way coming out as it did in (i know TMI)

i'm not on a liquid diet but a low carb diet but i still have bathroom issues...and here i am eating lots of fiberous foods oh well just another step of the journey.

WOW! I had this problem the first few days i started my pre-op liquid diet. I even called my mom because I thought I was sick! she said uhhhhh no it's what is supposed to happen to your body!

After about a week, i think my insides had finally emptied out because it has subsided dramatically. I am only going when a shake or pudding goes in my body. It's been quite the colon/body detox

AHHH...I was finally banded yesterday! Overall, I'm feeling pretty ok. My back is SO sore...I can't figure out if it is b/c I laid flat on the table for an hour and a few minutes.....or if it just gas. I took some GasX strips...and I'm trying to get up and around to move stuff around. Anyway, my incisions sites are ok....pretty much just the port site is tender. I've only been taking Liquid Tylenol today b/c the Roxicet that my dr. prescribed makes me sick to my stomach. Anyway, I'm glad to be out of the hospital....I slept HORRIBLE last night! Up EVERY hour and bored to tears! Ackkk....but it is over now and I am at my house. I took two weeks off...and hope that'll be enough to feel back to myself. Alrighty....looking forward to hearing other stories of the recently banded folk!!
