Is there anything I can safely do?

I will be 2 weeks post up on Wednesday May 4th and everything has been great EXCEPT I stay in the bathroom! I have had no nausea, no throwing up. I have liked every protein supplement I've tried and every strained soup I've tried. I am still on the liquid phase with 9 days left still. I can hardly go anywhere b/c I hardly make it to the bathroom when it hits which is every time I drink anything except plain water. I was warned prior to possible constipation but not constant loose stool! I do see my Dr 2morrow but I thought I would check with others 2 see if anyone else is suffering with this and how they've been coping or what advice I could get if any.
Thanks all.

I was the same way with liquids and still am when I drink protein shakes. You need to add a little peanut butter or applesauce to your diet.

Thanks, I haven't gotten the go ahead to soft foods yet but maybe when I see Dr 2morrow and tell her she will let me go early

I've seen post-ops go both ways, very loose stools or constipation.  It usually levels out once you get to more solid foods.
