Yep... it was pretty bad for a few days there, but it got better... just stick with it. You will likely experience the opposite after surgery, i.e. nothing moving.

Yes I did! I remember rolling in to the operating room and telling the guy pushing the gurney that I wish I had taken an Immodium!

I share your same situation. One week before my surgery. We can do this. I had a nasty taste in my mouth,too. Finally took tums at bedtime, taste is gone; back to the liquids this morning.

Ketosis breath... nasty stuff.

How are you doing on the Bariatric Advantage Protein powder? I had a tough time with that stuff... could not get a handle on the taste/smell. Bought two bags from the clinic, only made it through 3/4 of a bag of chocolate. Ended up switching over to the Premier Protein ready to drink shakes post-op.

Hell I'm 7 days post op and I still have diarrhea. Its comes from not eating anything solid so your body absorbs the nutrients it needs and rids itself of what it doesn't need.

I'm sorry you are going through this, I didn't have any problem with the liquid diet. I thought I would but 2 days into it I was surprised about how easy it was and how good I felt. I am now 10 days post surgery and in on phase 2/puréed foods until next Tuesday when I progress again. Every step is worth it!

If you don't mind me asking, for your liquids diet what are you taking, I'm waiting for my insurance approval and I'm just trying to prepare for all this. And how long do you have to be on the liquid diet

sugar free popsicles, low to no sodium chicken broth (you don't want high blood pressure ), Protein shakes, skim, soy or unsweetened almond milk, Water of course, and sugar free jello! That's all I can think of.

Oops I didn't see that you were asking the original poster that question. My mistake.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
