I went for a week after surgery with no bowel movements. I was in pain. It was NOT liquid in, liquid out for me!! I called the doc in a panic and he said to take milk of magnesia. I did, and voila, all was well the next morning, BUT then I had trouble controlling everything. I went back to work on day 11 after surgery, and pooped my pants my first day back. UGH!!! Thank God it was just that once, but I do not trust my farts anymore.....

I've heard it's called a SHART!!! Funny but very true... it happens to the best of us. At least we know we're not alone in this sharting business! ;~)

I was banded on the 27th. Yay me! Anyway, since I have started on my Clear liquids I get the ocassional horrible gas pain. However, when I pass the gas I need to be on the potty. I seem to have gas and a surprise. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I be concerned and call the doc?

Thanks!

liquid diet will certainly clean out the ole tubes for sure.

Kaopectate is good for this as it gels the stool instead of paralyzing your colon like other agents that then lead to Constipation.< /p>

Another thing to keep in mind is antibiotic induced diarrhea (pseudomembranous colitis) which some people get after the intravenous antibiotics given prior to surgery. This typically causes really watery stool and doesn't get better until treated. So, if anyone gets persistent watery stool it would be good to ask your doctor if they think you may have pseudomembranous colitis.

Hi J,

I was banded on Dec. 6th and had the same problem. :omg: It lasted about a week. When I started on mushies it seemed to clear up. My doctors office said it is not unusual to have diarhea during the liquid stage. Although it is irritating and can be embarassing I don't think it is a problem. My only advice is to be sure to keep sipping Water so you do not dehydrate.

Good luck,

S

iam a month out of surgery and since day one every time i eat or drink something it seams like i am walking on floors made of ducks, and little barking spiders, the funnest part is to blame it on my wife in public, lol she hates that, but i love to pick on her, and i find it gets to the point i cant control wether the spiders bark or i can wait to leave a room, hope it gets better but just dont feel bad, it happens, and yes even i sh+t my pants two days home from surgery, dont allways trust your farts, lol good luck and stick it out

But don't you feel squeaky clean inside?! Come on, there's a bright side! It costs $30 at the pharmacy to get that big tub of evil cherry flavoured goo to drink to get that "ready for a colonoscopy" clean... you're getting it for free!

Yeah, I tried...

I had a serious problem with NOT going after being banded. I thought I was going to wind up in the ER for help. Finally resolved it's self with the help of good 'ole Milk of Magnesia(sp). Now I take a softener everyday. Because we are eating small portions by the time out intestines are full enough to void it's a little hard. WOW that's TMI!!! lol

Hope it helps!

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
