My tummy has rumbling and tumbling noises seems like non-stop. Too many close cases where gas turned out to be diarrhea. When will this part end? I ate two fiber one yogurts and 24 grams of protien today.

If it makes you feel any better, I too am three days post-op and experiencing the same symptoms. I have been taking 1-2 Gas X strips every two or three hours and that has helped the gas and other bodily functions subside a bit. It's extremely annoying, but I'm taking it as a good sign that my body's systems are starting to get back in order! Oh, I have also been taking hot showers and walking to take some of the edge off of the stomach rumbling and gas. They both seem to help.

Good luck!

Check your protein shakes' nutritional label. The ones I drank had additional fiber. I'm sure being on liquids can also cause things to be a little "loose".

Liquids in... Liquids out... i had the same thing... i had to chop up an imodium 1 day i couldnt take it anymore!!

Hi! I was banded on 2/24 and I also have terrible diaherria. I think it's subsiding though. I don't think it's from anything I've eaten (which is next to nothing). Pain medication, the gas used and the fact that someone was tromping around in my intestines seems to be a logical reason for this.

I'm looking forward to this symptom disappearing.

Like Meshelle said..liquid in liquid out.

It happened to me too. I was waiting to be all consitipated but NOPE, no trouble there.:wink:

Stay hydrated tho.

I had my initial surgery in 12/07 and I don't remember this happening...but I just had a revision surgery a few days ago and have been experiencing these same symptoms. I'll be honest though, I'm not going to push it. I am staying on very thin liquids all week...even if that continues happening. It's worth it to make sure I heal correctly, you know??

Why did you have to have your band revised? Slippage? Is there anything we can do to avoid this?

Yup! the diaherrea is normal! I wanna say I had it for atleast a week or more. Then I went back to normal.
