Liquid diet problems

bigunc

Ok Guys I have a question about the liquid diet.
I've been on a liquid diet for 3 days and my stomach has revolted. First 2 days were normal liquids and today has been clear liquids. 1 more day of clear liquids with my surgery scheduled for Monday morning. I can't seem to stay off the comode. Is this normal? Amodium has not helped.
I don't remember hearing anything about possibly having this problem from the Surgical team.

usually high fluid low solids diet will produce a loose watery bowel....

inform your surgeon, it's probably what they want...assuming you don't have some kind of flu....

It is also common on postOp to become constipated....so enjoy the ride ....
