My surgeon requires 2 weeks of protein shakes 3-4 times a day prior to surgery (3/20).  I am on day 4 and have diarrhea.  I am allowed to have sugar free jello, broth and sugar free popsickles as well.  I am not eating an excessive amount of jello, broth or pops.  I have added Benefiber to my decaf tea and broth.  Anyone else experience this?

 You may be reacting to the artificial sweeteners or the whey protein.  Definitely call the surgeon and let them know what's happening.  They may want to switch you to something else.
