utahmom Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 I'm getting worried and wondering if anyone else is having or had this problem. I was banded last Thursday, so today is Day 5 for me and I have bad diarrhea. Nervous about getting dehydrated and will call Dr Miranda if this continues. Has anyone else experienced this?
Ms.Teacher Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 I too had this problem. My doctor said it was due to the liquid diet, and stress. But everyone is different. Just make sure you stay fully hydrated, drink, drink, drink!!! I ended up taking Imodium. Ask your doctor. That took care of it right away. Good luck! > Helena in Las Vegas
mistyband Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 I had the same problem.....It will soon pass....don't worry yourself....just drink plenty of liquids...
stockprincess Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 yes, I had that problem, too. As a matter of fact, one of the most embarrassing moments of my life happened because of it in the airport. I'll leave it at that. Just know that it is normal. You don't have anything to make it solid!
ella Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 If you're drinking more juice than broth that can be contributing to it. Fruit juices have that effect. Yo could try more broths with a little instant potato flakes to give you more consistancy. Hope that helps!
lna228 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Dr Miranda also told us to dilute your juice with some water. Linda
utahmom Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Posted March 25, 2008 Thanks everyone for your replies, made me feel much better. I had an EAS Advantage protien drink for breakfast today and I am feeling much better.

Has anyone else experienced this? yes!!!! i think mine was from all of the sugar in the vitamin water and yogurt. I was in so much pain. i actually took about a half an hour to slowly eat a slice of bread and this helped termendously. I was so miserable unti lthen. i know they won't recommend this, but i was desperate. i couldn't sleep and was uncomfortable no matter what i did. good luck!
