So I was banded 11/8 (3 days ago) I am on my all clears for a week. And I suddenly have the runs. Is this normal? Should I be worried? I hate to be descriptive but it's like water help!

I was done 29/10 it happened to me too lasted about 3days and I had a few near misses if you know what I mean:) but it did help me release some of that awful gas so I didn't take anything. Someone did mention chewable Imodium . Good luck

Add a fiber supplement to your liquid. There in one that comes in box of packets like crystal light. You can put it in anything liquid. It's tasteless... You won't even know its there...but it helps. If I recall during liquids I used 2 a day

Thanks soooo much! I was afraid. I know what you mean about "missing". I won't mention what happened already. Lol. But again, thanks for the reply. I didn't think it was normal, considering I haven't eaten!

Thanks Floridays, I will def try that!!

I too had that "problem" after surgery.I was banded on May 16th and it was HORRIBLE and embarressing at a dept store,I wont go into details but was mortified...My doctor said it was due to the body's adjustment to the banded life and it would pass..Well it did pass and I couldnt be happier with the decission to be banded.

I wish, I have always had the alternative problem!

So have I. And just when I didn't think it could get any worse, I got tightened this week...and the diarrhea got even worse!! Ugh!

I found that when I buy the protein powder meal replacement and drink it with milk, I had diarrhea. So I switched to muscle milk light since its lactose free and it hasn't bothered me since. I would say maybe I'm lactose intolerant, but things like cheese and yogurt don't bother me

So I dunno
