WARNING....THIS MAY BE TMI........

Need some input......I'm on day 1 of the clear diet protocol........and complete diarrhea......is anyone else having this?

I don't feel ill' date=' no temperature.......feels like when I did a colonoscopy.......everytime I drink, 5 minutes later I'm heading to the bathroom.....I'll call the dr's in the morning.....but wondering if anyone else is having this too.

Thanks![/quote']

Are you drinking too much artificial sweetener? Chewing too much gum? I had it the first day bad (but I also took a laxative in the morning) -- was better the 2nd day (only a little, once).

I had that problem too.. It's normal.. Because your basically cleaning out your system. Just keep hydrated and think of the goal!

:-D

I wished I had some travel wed mild mouthwash. The combo of ketosis and surgery left me with something less than a fresh mouth :)

And I promise you, I do actually know how to spell. Combo of autocorrect on iPad, and one day post op not a good one :)

PattGee, I am scheduled for surgery Thursday. Start my liquid pre op tomorrow. My dr told me to take milk of mag too. I thought he said tomorrow night, which is 2 days before surgery. How close to surgery do you have to take it?

I'd call them to verify it.....Mine told me to take it this afternoon (the day before surgery).

yamgirl.....the hospital should call you today to confirm the time.....wish I had no m.o.m. for me, too LOL

Wishing you all well....I'll probably be surfing again at 2 a.m. when I can't sleep because I'm too excited/anxious for tomorrow! Good luck everyone!

This has been the longest work day ever!! I am not really scared about surgery but very restless today. I have no focus. I have to be there at 6 am tomorrow. I am so excited. Glad I am the first surgery of the day.

Prayers with all the August 6'ers!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
