Diarrhea

it is day 9 and full liquids, which for me has been still just protein drinks and a little triple zero yogurt. But I am starting to have diarrhea, consistently. I read about people having constipation all the time, but has anyone had this issue? The drinks are premiere protein and oikos triple zero yogurt, sometimes, but just a few spoons. Total calories about 400.

Yep - while constipation is common due to the low fiber diet we typically are on, liquid in/liquid out is also common early on during that phase. I never had a fully liquid only diet so my body couldn't make up its mind between the two, and sometimes I had both at the same time - blockage backed up by liquid (watch out when it finally moved!)

I am 13 days out from surgery and on a full liquid diet, too. I had the same problem for the first week. This past Monday, it changed to solid and borderline constipation.

Your body could be reacting to all of the artificial sweeteners, too. Immodium is okay to take if this concerns you, but you should see change as you progress to soft foods.
