Aww... I feel your pain. I am assuming that you just recently had your surgery and now you have diarrhea? I had the same problem. The Infernal Ass Hose. I. Was. Miserable! It was awful. Liquids in, liquids out. Call your surgeon's office and get permission to take Immodium or get a 'script for an anti diarrhea med. You shouldn't have to suffer. Once you get on to full liquids and then to mushies, things will naturally ease and your gut will begin to regulate, but don't wait, get help, ASAP! And don't let them put you off! Trust me, you don't want this to drag on and on. I went through weeks and weeks of misery of pro biotics and other nonsense. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Keep pushing until you get relief and feel better!

Push fluids as best you can. Having diarrhea can dehydrate you. Taking Probiotics can help repopulate the flora that the antibiotics that you were given on surgery day and in the days after your surgery and help regulate your gut and they are good, in the long run but they won't give you the immediate relief you need.

Okay, now I am just rambling. I hope that you feel better, soon.

The Constipation will follow most likely. I, too, was nauseated a lot. I'm not sure I was putting enough in my tummy. Hot beef broth seemed to soothe me. The first week can be rough,you'll make it through.Just stick to your surgeon's plan and it will all work out.

I am feeling waves of nausea as well. Surgery was Monday. This is my second time being banded. I don't remember feeling this nausea the first time, but I sure have it now. Got some chewable Pepto-Bismal that has helped some. I also bought SeaBands, an acupressure-point anti-nausea wristbands. Can't hurt to try. The more I drink the better it is, but still hangs in. Warm broth seems to calm it the most. Hopefully this too shall pass!

I can't remember the name of the medicine my dr. gave me (maybe scopolamine?) but it is a patch that you put behind your ear. It work wonders! I never felt nauseated unless I forgot the patch.

Advice your surgeon of nausea. Remember, liquids in, liquids out. As others stated, be happy that you can move your bowels at all. Best wishes for speedy recovery. Karen..aka.kll724

If you have nausea, call your doc's office and get a script for anti nausea meds. There are really good ones that work super fast. My surgeon prescribed one that dissolves on my tongue and works almost instantly. I didn't need it right after my surgery but i do take one now and again, when my gallbladder acts like a d*ck and I feel sick. Hey, that rhymed! I'm a poet and I didn't know it! But seriously, if you're feeling urpy, get some good stuff from your surgeon to quell it, you should not be vomiting, at all. It can impede your healing and put you at risk for a slip.

Glad you're feeling better today! Don't know if you're on narcotic pain medication but that can do a number on some people, not just in bowel world (usually Constipation but not always) and sleep cycles, etc. Just thought I'd put that out there. Great if you can get shut-eye and do the walking -- that will help right your body. Congratulations on getting your band and getting through these first fee days. Sorry you've been having a tough time!
