Hello all! I'm curious to know if anyone has experience diarrhea during there Pre-op liquid diet.

Almost everybody, but don't worry, you'll have the opposite problem soon.

Thank you, I thought I was alone on this. My stomach has been on a trip.

I was just the opposite. I used BariEssentials with skim milk and was almost constipated.

Yes because your body is detoxing from all of those chemicals and unhealthy stuff. This also happens to my hubby during his first two days of juiceing.

Funny thing is I went raw juicing for 2 months and was good. But this detox is extra effective.

liquid in....liquid out. Should adjust after three or four days. Incidentally, at three or four days is when I experience a zero energy day...headache. That passes too.

Omg, I'm so glad to see someone else brought this up. I'm on day 8 of restricted diet, day four of liquid-only. Four Bariatric Advantage shakes a day and I can barely leave the bathroom. I'm embarrassed to say I had an accident while sleeping as well. Does this improve? Does anyone take a probiotic? I'm wondering if this would help my digestion. I took Imodium the first day but that did nothing. Help please! I'm about to go buy some adult diapers!!!

This has been the worst part of then pre op diet, glad to hear others are in the same boat. I was wondering also, if it was just me.

Thank you thank you thank you for posting this! Howard one stinkin shake, my first ever and I'm now combing the Internet to make sure I'm ok! Goodness! Can't wait till the day before surgery bowl prep! How on earth is anything else left inside?! That said my liquid diet starts on the 19th, in nine days from now but I think I'm going to do at least one to two shakes a day to get ready for it.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
