Okay so I apologize in advance for the TMI....

I am on liquid diet day 4 and have been struggling with running to the bathroom after every drink (even water) and veggie. I’m allowed to have 4 protein shakes and 2 cups of veggies (only broccoli, green pepper, lettuce, cucumbers, or celery). Every time I consume something it feels like glass inside my intestines and I have to run to the toilet. It’s literally like liquid in, liquid out.

Does this happen to anyone else? They warned me that I might experience constipation because of the lack of fibre but this is the exact opposite.

i have a road trip to go on this weekend and I’m scared that I will have to pull over every 15 min!

sorry for the details lol

Pink Nova, no shame in that game, you gave it (and gave, and gave) your best shot, no fault it happened the way it did. If God didn't like variety we would all have been created the same. Now there's a happy thought for you. Someday you'll look back,of this and laugh, that is if you can stay out of the porcelain throne room. LOL?

Lol! So true! Thanks for saying that

Silver lining — at least I’m not Hangry anymore. Woo! Lol

Thanks for all of your responses!

UPDATE: So I went for my pre-surgical appointment yesterday and was told that my body was not tolerating the shakes and going to the washroom 20+ times a day with the runs was not normal. They gave me an alternative meal plan for my last two weeks. It’s basically a high Protein, low carb low fat plan. Although I was super excited to have food again, I feel guilty for not following through the liquid diet. Either way, I’m glad they figured out what was wrong and now my stomach doesn’t hurt anymore. Yay! lol

Better to find this out now than post-op when you'd likely have ended up dehydrated! No guilt!

I just posted that the same was happening to me. I will be calling my Dr. I was discouraged because this is not good and I was worried that they would push me off! There was emphasis on liquid diet to shrink the liver . Glad there is an alternative. So relieved!
