I have had diarrhea for the past 4 days...i realize I am not eating anything solid so this could be a contributing factor but seriously this is getting on my nerves! I don't want to end up dehydrated...i go probably 4 times a day...not sure if this is normal since i did just have surgery on my stomach and I am only drinking full liquids and i already tend to have a sensitive stomach and i have been taking Tylenol Extra Strength liquid around the clock to stay ahead of any pain or soreness. Any advice would be great!

Yes, it's normal--and you're right, it's aggravating!

Yes, very common..I had it for about 1 week, then slowing it started to straighten out.

Good luck.

LMAO unfortunately it's absolutely normal! I remember those first few days just thinking "WTF?" every time i went to the bathroom...i mean, like you said we're all on an all liquid diet at that point so how is that possible? HA!

Don't worry...

I called it "explosive decompression"--it happened quite a bit during the first couple of weeks.

NOT fun. Keep up with your liquids so you don't get dehydrated.

It is because you changed your eating habits. I have had my band a while and still do not know what to expect each day.
