Hey everyone....i was banded on monday may 1st...on liquid diet of course but encourged to get a protein shake in....i did just that..i was able to drink 8 oz slowly only to have diarreah like 5 mins after if finished the shake....ummmm is that normal??? By the way..aside from that and being sore i feel great!! Xoxo

Yep!!!! you will have that for at least a week

Don't forget your body just had a very traumatic experience. Won't likely be long and you will swing to the opposite direction. Drink your water and should be fine

yep, normal. It's not the shake. Keep drinking!

did you have the shake in the drs rooms? i know that we are to drink water in the rooms before we leave... i thought i would like to take a shake and try that as well?/ then i will know that i can have soups and shakes for starters.

I was banded on Feb 03/2012 and have lost approx 60lbs. My problem I am having is with loose stools. It is almost like a water faucet at times. The only changes in my diet is that I am drinking decaf coffee with a non dairy creamer. Just wondered if any one had any advise.

Thanks for the advice!! Today i am day 4 post op and i cannot believe how overnight i became soreness free!!! I even slept on my side last nite!! I feel great!! The only bad thing is the disgusting smelling gas....soooooo foul!!! Hope thT stops soon..lok

60 pounds lost is AMAZING!!!! MAY i ask.what your starting weight was??? Congrats ajd keep up the goos work!!! Xoxo

My doctor warned me of bad bowel movements IF I had more than 4 grams of sugar in anything I ate, so I haven't any and no episodes since my band 4/25

thats really interesting about the effect of sugar on the bowels. i wonder what it is that happens??

I was banded on may 1st. A day after the band I started having diahrea. I only ate jello and had a small amount of water and it was still happening as of today. I called my dr and he said that was not good. He advised me to eat banana, yogurt, and drink mint tea.
