I had my surgery on 9/9/09 and I was told to be on clear liquid for 3 days and then start my full liquids for 11 days well the day i started my full liquids I experienced a "dumping" type issue. I had dumping when I had my gallbladder removed and to this day I still have some issues with it, but last night I went to the bathroom 7 times in a 3hour period........liquid poop (gross I know sorry). It's very similar to after my gallbladder removal 3 1/2yrs ago. I am following my diet completely. I just dont understand. They also did the barium liquid stuff on the day I had the surgery and everything was fine. Anyone else had this issue?????

Yes, I had the exact same problems while I was on the clear liquid diet. I just thought it was "liquids in, liquids out" problem. It cleared up when I began mushies and I don't have problems with it now.

I had a nasty upset stomach about a week and a half after my surgery, but only for one day. Perhaps drinking some kind of Probiotic would help (Activia or Yakult)? You should perhaps see your doctor to check if you're having a reaction to the increase in dairy (that's supposing you're having lots more milk Protein shakes or yoghurt now than previously). And in general be careful that you're getting enough Water, I think that having diarrhea for this long will leave you very dehydrated.

Hope you feel better soon, I only had this for a day and it was not pleasant!
