The pre-op diet is killing me bathroom wise

I was afraid of this, liquid in, liquid out. I am holding off on eating anything but yogurt & broth basically at work because the shakes really do make me run for the bathroom. I have tried a few kinds and they are all doing it, is this normal? I am on day 5.

I am on day 7 of liquid preop.. I have the sore ass to prove it !

I'm on day one. Should be interesting.

I have the opposite problem. The protein brings me to screeching halt. In the pre-op I ate clementines a couple times a day to help, but now I can't. I am going after broccoli to steam tomorrow and see if that helps. :(:blink:

I didn't have this problem mine is the opposite. The protein shakes really constipate me instead.

It may be the type of shake you are drinking. I have a couple different pre mixed shakes that I do and one has that effect on me. I save it for when I'm going to be home alone, lol. The other ones I have no issues with.
