I had that.. Thinking it would go away .. Had to go to ER after 3rd day ... Without sounding crude ... I needed to poop.... After that lesson I keep milk of mag on hand and eat plenty of watermelon...

From bandster hell to great restriction after first fill.... It's so nice not to be starving all the time !! Sigh of relief ... Everyone have a great 4th!!

Banded on 5/24... Down 20 lbs... Thinking how awesome I'm doing .. And then past few Days ive ran into friends and they ask " thought you had lap band??"..... I'm 3 weeks post op and have dropped 20!! Do people honestly think we just come out of surgery skinny???? Bleh ... Thanks for letting me vent

Very important to stay regular ... I ended up in ER and massive left side pain due to "not being regular".... Lesson learned ... Eating watermelon daily is helping me stay on top of this.... Back to my 2 mile walks again .... So excited !!

Milk of mag / cherry flavor has saved my life ...

Just an update .. Trip to ER ... Severely constipated .. (tmi sorry).... Left side pain unbearable ... Alls well now..Still very sore but back on track... Just a lesson learned on keeping up with fiber etc ... Which for me watermelon works like a charm.... Thanks for advice everyone

Just talked to my surgeons nurse and she thinks possibly kidney stones ??? Ugh have dt appt tomorrow morning

They did ... I'll try that thank you!!

Banded on the 5/24 and have never had this issue till now .... Any suggestions ??
