I just called my doctor and the office is closed for lunch. So I wanted to ask all of you supportive banders... I'm having cramps in my lower abdomen. It feels like when you drink too much water and go for a run. I know I'm not drinking enough, as I am trying to increase my intake. But I'm curious is lack of fluids causing the cramps or a defect with something?

The list of culprits causing stomach cramps is long, very long. I've never got cramps from drinking Water or running so I'm no help? Being dehydrated could cause cramps as you mentioned? You're so newly banded it could be gas or constipation.

Thank you tmf!! I've upped my liquid intake according to 2nd full liquid phase instructions. Feeling better just super full.
