I had my lap band surgery on Sep. 6th. I have been on Clear Liquids up until today. I was allowed to introduce liquid yogurt. I sipped on it on and off throughout the day and after I had finished it I began feeling some serious rumbling in my stomache and have had the runs ever since. :sick I mean in the bathroom like every 20-30 minutes! Is this normal? :nervous Should I just not do the yogurt? I have always eaten yogurt/dairy products in the past with no problems! Help! I don't know what to do!!!B) Thanks~

Hey Missy,

Sorry you're feeling poorly i was banded on the 5th, and had my first smoothie today, this may not have anything to do with yoghurt, i beleive we can sometimes get this a few days after surgery, due to the drugs we're administered, sorry i can't be more help.

Feel good soon.

I have found that since surgery I am either one way or another. I can't seem to find a balance with that... Immodium and milk of magnesia have been my friends.

Thanks for the reply, maybe it is just the meds working their way out :rolleyes I guess I will try to sip on it a little tommarrow and see how I do before I drink any more. It will most likely take me a few days to finish one, but that is better than this! B)

Missy, I know all doctors see this different, but I cant have yogurt till 2 weeks after my surgery. I hve 2 more days to go of liquids, then here come the mushies....Cant wait.

Try going back to only liquids for 2 days and all should be back to normal.

Hope this helps....Dave:bounce::bounce:

I had my surgery 2 weeks ago.

It was on a Mon afternoon and I was on clear liquids until that Thurs, then full liquids.

On Thurs I had a one of those drinkable yogurts, a Protein shake, and maybe some broth or Soup. I had your exact problem that night and it lasted like 3 days. I had to take Imodium. (it comes in liquid and chewable)

Just make sure you are getting in extra fluids to compensate - I think you just have to ride it out.

I am glad to know that I am not the only one who has had this problem! I am afraid I am going to get dehydrated, everything I drink goes right through me! Hopefully it will end soon. I talked to my nutrishionist (?) today and she said to try a Protein Shake with soy milk. I have never had problems with milk or dairy products before, hopefully this will not be the case going forward! :) I will try the imodium though, hopefully that will work! Thanks for the tip!

I was banded on sept6...I got the runs on day 4, I don't think it is the yogart. The next day (yesterday) it was better, and better today. Maybe it is all the medicines that we got in IV that are just now making their way out cause our bowels have really been sleepy and are just now waking up from surgery ??? just a guess! hope you feel better!

Misty you will find you will need many things that are liquid and due to your lap band some will work and some will not. Many wil be difficult to find and you will have to search for them. It really can be a challenge to find what your body will agree with. You might try some of these from my website. This product uses the same technology runners use to get the nutriants of the product to you faster. Below are some of contents and they are all in Gel liquid form.

Pro Pack (Protein)

I trully want to help you with your diet and to also want to let you know I have been there before and struggeled to find nutrition for my wife who had the Lap Band Surgery in Dallas 4 years ago.

God Bless,

Thanks for the tips. I tried a Protein Drink yesterday and also had some baby rice Cereal (I know, it sounds bad but it was ok actually!) I also had some apple sauce, I was trying to do the BRAT diet that you are supposed to do in this case. (bananas, rice, apple sauce and toast) I can't do the first and the last so I tried a modified version. I have not had any problems since yesterday after trying this. I am hoping that was the end of it! :guess

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
