Did anyone have a problem with Constipation after being banded. I am 4 days banded and since I have been on liquids I think that might have something to do with it. Does / did anyone else have this problem and what did you do to help it along? Thanks.

I have the opposite effect, on day 4 and ever since (day 8 now) I have taken some pretty BAD poo's, sometimes up to 4 times a day. All i have is 2 apple juice boxes and Water a day. Nothing else, where is it coming from? I think it may be from the antibiotics I'm on.

Stacey, I had the major poohs, too. Nasty & rumbly to the point I thought something was horribly wrong, so I ran to Urgent Care. They ran tons of tests but nothing was wrong. It was just years worth of built up sludge from way inside my colon & guts, I suppose. Sorry to get gross, but we're all in the same boat.

Apple juice will make you have poos if you drink too much...So depending on the problem... you may want to look at how much you are drinking :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
