All that liquid, just wondering if it caused problems for folks, ie "the runs". I have to work! Can't be running to the bathroom every 10 minutes. I doubt after the surgery running anywhere will be easy.

Liquid in, liquid out! Was not the omg find a potty quick though!

I wondered about this also. Thanks for asking!

It's not 100% true about liquid in liquid out. Think about babies only on formula. You shouldn't be running to the bathroom. Perhaps call your doctor and discuss.

No I did not have "the runs" on either pre op or post op liquid diet.

Only in post op and not eating like I use to before lapband did I have bowel movement problems. Fiber gummies and Miralex solved this problem. If you're on pain killers for the surgery and you take them a long time you could have movement problems as well.

Yes I did.. I agree liquid in liquid out

It balances out after a bit

I had the runs.

call me bathroom queen sweetheart

my dr okay'd me immodium AD and that helped

but he also advised me to do a daily probiotic (capsule i open and still put in my morning Protein shake) to help ((calm things down))..

i started that 4 days post op and on day 5 to 6, it seemed better...who knows it may help you but confer with your dr just in case as they may not want you to do that or the immodium

...and because fluids in and fluids are coming out, def important to say hydrated.....sip sip sip and then sip some more...
