Banded May 21st...now have diarrhea :(

[dreamhappy07]

Hello all,

I have been stalling to post this and decided I probably should post it. I have been doing pretty good since surgery. Felt like crap and starving yesterday, but feel so much better today. Since this morning, I have been dealing with diarrhea. I started drinking liquid yogurt this morning, but I think the problem must be because I forgot to dilute the apple juice I drank yesterday afternoon and last night. Well, the juice I drank last night I did dilute, but it probably was too late for that.

How long will this last? Should I stay away from the yogurt and have a steak? LOL Just kidding. I finally am going to drink some powerade to hopefully help and staying way clear from the apple juice for now. Is there anything else I should be doing as well? My bottom is sore...lol

Peace,

Judy

I had diarrea for about a week after my band - liquid in/liquid out. Get the TP with aloe in it and some diaper rash cream - they help and this too shall pass

I had a brief episode with diarrhea. I took an Imodium that night, and the next day it was gone.

The daily yogurt - Activia is the best according to Dr. Miranda - should actually make you more regular. It introduces back the healthy bacteria your stomach needs which was flushed away during surgery. Although the steak isn't such a bad idea, either.

I have diarhea, too. I am 7 days post-op and I have had diarhea for a few days now. I am guessing that it is all of the liquids that we are taking in but if you find out that this is a problem...let me know.

Hello,

How is everyone doing? I'm sorry I've been out of pocket for awhile. Judy....I guess when I said I was not hungry..I didn't relize that those growling and rumbling feelings may be hunger, although I can't really say I want to eat. I haven't really lost anything, either. I have been perfect with the diet, I just started the creamy broths and yogurts..oh and slim-fast. This is my concern.... I really don't have any restriction feelings. The only thing I feel is a cramp under my left shoulder blade. It has taken me about 4 days to figure out that when I drink my meal about 15 min after it I get a cramping feeling under my shoulder blade. How crazy is that. I read your post about the ...too many trips to the RR....I started to drink undiluted juice so I could go... but that to seems to be a mystery to me..... any suggestions from anyone would be great. Oh and I got a knot where my IV was and it just keep getting bigger so I went to the doctor today and he said I have Flabitus, so I am now on meds. But other than all that I'm great. I hope that all of you guys are hangin in there. We are all going to look so hot about this time next year.
