I'm on my second day of my 2 week pre-op diet. I've been drinking my Protein drinks and trying to stick to the 1000 calorie diet. I'm suppose to have 3 shakes per day plus one low fat/carb "real meal". I had my 4 oz. of pork roast, 1 tbsp of fat free gravy and one cup of green Beans. Right after I ate, my stomach was making all sorts of sounds and a feeling of gas popping. A few hours after I ate I flew to the bathroom and had a major diarrhea explosian!! What's up with that??????

Hi

It might be because your body is adjusting to your new diet, as this has happened to me when changing my diet.

Yep...that's your body adjusting to the change. When my doc put me on medifast 5 shakes & 1 Lean & Green, the first three days were a NIGHTMARE of toilet time!! After that, it eased up. Hang in there...this too shall pass

I tried the fasting diet, where one day you eat normal, next day you eat nothing but fruits & veggies.. Repeat.

The first day, my fiance did it with me even though he doesn't have weight to lose, he is supportive.. On our fast day we ate oranges, and then I made a broth soup with veggies in it. That night, we both had explosions in the toilet! He actually poo'd himself, didn't even feel it coming. We stopped that night after that, I thought it was due to all the liquid from the day. One thing I've been worrying about on pre-op for lap band.. Sounds like this happened to you!!

I'm 9 days post op and all of a sudden out of the blue I'm having that "upset" feeling. Maybe it's me, but could this be from too many protein shakes??

I too experienced this. Also, I've found that it depends on the type of Protein drink whether I get the runs. OH...and if I drink the protein too fast (got that bit of advice from a buddy). I've got the pre-op for a month...2 1/2 wks. left...UGH. Bordem has set in.

Anyhoo...after about the 1st week, I wasn't hungry so much any more. The question I've got with this is during the 1 1/2 wk. of the 2 shakes a day I was FREEZING...now, I'm hot, like fever, but no sweat, no fever. Anyone got advice on this lovely bit of pre-op fun?!? :help:
