This is going to seem stupid, but I'm going to ask it anyway. How do you poop when you're on a liquid diet? I'm VERY regular and quite satisfied when it comes to my BM habits (sorry if TMI, but I've got it down to an art after years of dealing with IBS) and the idea of having to go to work all plugged up or with raging runs doesn't exactly appeal to me. Do things normalize after surgery and get nice and regular again?

When I did my two week, liquid diet, I still had regular "movements". I believe its because of all the protein I was consuming. Im six days post op and back to liquids and still regular. Hope this helps.

Day 6 of my liquid diet now and i popped regularly until today when I had a major bowel movement. The kind that makes you feel you just lost 5 pounds.

If you meet your protein quota, you should have regular bowel movements
