it is diarrhea, it is awful and about everyday!!!!

Power bar now makes a protein bar with 1 gram of sugar, i can't find it in any of the stores but i did order a box from their website, they are peanut butter and they taste good.

I am 5 weeks out and have terrible stomach issues, about two hours after i eat i end up in the restroom, i am now eating only once a day out of fear of getting sick, i have not seen anything on here about this problem, i am not sure this is right and am getting worried, i have my first fill next week and am down 22lbs, anyone else having this issue?

I was banded on 6/10/10 and am having port pain, after i eat when i take a breath it hurts, is this normal? i find i am eating once a day just because i don't want the discomfort. it almost feels like it's caught, i can feel a knot there still too.

I had my cycle the week before surgey 6/10/10 and just got it yesterday 7/4/10 so i am pretty much on schedule.

I'm right there with ya, i am 3 weeks out, my surgery was june 10th, it is very hard, i have lost 16lbs so far and am hungry alot, i have cheated here and there, but then get right back on. If you have meetings at the facility you got banded i would suggest going to them, i have gone and they are helpful, good luck!!

Hey everyone, I was banded on 6/10/10 and am eating mushies, i eat egg whites with cheese and deli meat with cheese as per a booklet my dr. gave me, my problem is i can eat alot and not really feel full!! i sometimes wonder if they forgot to put the band in!!! i have lost about 13lbs but am at a standstill, i even cheated and ate linguine and sauteed shrimp, i was able to eat the whole bowl, i got so mad at myself but i miss that full feeling, i wonder if this will get better once i get tightened in about two weeks, if you've been in my shoes i could sure use some help or advice, Thanks.

Hi, i was banded on 6/10/10 and am also inthe same place you are, wondering if i even have a pouch, i too can eat alot, i cheated and had linguine with sauteed shrimp and every las bit went down, I want to be better than that, i will be filled in about two weeks and hope that things get better for me because i am worried. we need some old timers here to help us out, good luck.

:sad:HI! I'm 8 days out and still have some pain in my port site and it has a hard lump in the area, i hope that is normal . My problem is i am starving!!! i do the protein shakes and liquid and am seeing the Dr. in 2 days (Monday) the nutritionist i talked to says hang in thier till then but it has been so hard, i am allowing myself creamed soups instead of broth and hope that is ok, I also had sweet potato caserole. I just feel like i'm never going to enjoy a meal again in my life.... tell me it gets better!!!!!!

I'm 4 days out and can't imagine going back to work already, i have alot of gas pain, did you?

I was just banded on June 10th, and am also having it, hope it ends soon for both of us.

I also have had 2 c-sections, this was definitley not that bad, there will be pain but tolerable, i just had mine done on june 10th, so i'm 3 days out, still have some discomfort especially around port site, also some spuratick diahrea, which is wierd, but i think overall i'm doing fine. you will too!!!!!

I have thyroid disease as well, hoshimotos syndrome, they performed surgery on me june 10th.
