I am sure that this is TMI but I just have to ask:

While you guys were on your liquid diet, did you have the runs? The reason why I am asking is because every 2 hours I am heading to the bathroom with liquid results. I am just wondering if this is normal.

Again I do apologize if this is gross, I just want to know, what are some things you did to relieve this issue without breaking your diet.

Thanks,

I'm one of those weird patients who wasn't assigned a pre-op liquid diet (except for 24 hours before surgery) but I can tell you that during the two week liquid diet after surgery, I definitely had nothing but the runs. This resolved itself a little on its own before the phase was up, but really resolved itself when I started eating more solid food.

I've bounced back and forth between watery stool and constipation. I wouldn't recommend taking anything because about the time you do, your body will have adjusted (maybe). Then you'll have other problems.

There might be something you are consuming that isn't agreeable. I was allowed Okios triple zero yogurt. Something in that caused me trouble.

Thanks. I thought it was just me. I was starting to get nervous.

I am lactose intolerant and most protein shakes makes my tummy hurt. I am drinking premier protein and it has milk protein. That maybe the issue I am having.

Hi. Do you have a Kroger near you. There Carbmaster milk is high in protein and I believe lactose free , I use this instead of protein powder

I do not have a Kroger near me. I can look up the product and see who else sells it.

I'm experiencing the opposite. I've felt constipated. I'm also only on day 3 of my liquid only diet. Hopefully it gets better as time progresses.
