Kittycat Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 My question relates to the post -op liquid diet period where you are not ingesting food...do you pee a blue streak? Do you get the diarrhea? I haven't seen any feedback on this subject...and just wanted to know. Thanks Cathy
Kim2BSlim Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 I don't pee a whole lot, but a big YES on the diarrhea. TMI..SORRY. Sometimes it is hard to make it to the bathroom it is so bad.

Thanks Kimmie, I suspected that might be an issue, but I guess it's temporary, like the liquid diet...right?? Once you start on solids does the diarrhea go away? Cathy
Kim2BSlim Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 Yes, I believe it is because you are only drinking liquids so your bowels are very loose. Once you start solid food, it should go away. >
BeBe Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 I was actually constipated. I've only gone 3 times in the three weeks since I've been banded.
Kittycat Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Posted April 9, 2008 I was actually constipated. I've only gone 3 times in the three weeks since I've been banded. I think I would rather be constipated than have urgent diarrhea!! Thanks ladies for your feedback!! Best of luck with your journey..Cathy
Paula Bee Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 Yep, constipation was/is an issue for me. I am eating activa yogurt now to try to get things back to normal
MamaMichelle Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 No diarrhea for me either, I put 2tsp of Beneiful Fiber in each of my shakes so I think that helped to bind things up!! It's totally tasteless, you can add it to soup, shakes, yogurt or even water, I am still using it today to meet my daily fiber requirement/goals. You can get it at walmart, costco or the OCC e-store!
