Hello Everyone - I am new to this site. I was banded October 3rd. I was doing wonderful till last Friday. Everything I ate was going right threw me. I have not stopped having diahrrea. I called my Dr.s office and they told me that I had to see my PCP. I got an apt that day and she did blood work and asked for a sample of my stool. I did that. So far the blood work came back great except I have to take Iron. The blood came back fine except one is still pending. So far there is no bacteria. What is going on, has anyone every experienced this? I am so worried now that I keep looking stuff up on the web and it is making me crazy. I love my lap band and I have lost 40 pounds since my surgery... Thanks everyone.. Happy Saturday!!! Krisy

Oh I am not not eating any dairy right now. Basicaly I am eating saltine crackers and maybe a few bits at dinner. UGGG this is making crazy. Oh ya and trying to drink water, that is even giving me cramps.

Take some immodium if your not eating enough food it will only give you diarrhea you have to eat or you will have diarrhea

Thank you, I will try that. I was not really eating all that much before this started. I hope that is all it is...

Are you getting enough fiber?

I was taking Metamucil for high cholesterol but stopped after my surgery because it is too hard for me to drink with a tight band. (have to drink it fast)

Noticed a big difference. I started taking it again every evening before bed. 3 smaller doses spread apart,
