Has anyone on here had trouble with diarreha after surgery and how come the pants I wore right before surgery fit and now that I'm down 24 lbs. there to tight? How strange is that? :sneaky: Does every doctor have a different post op diet for their patient's because as I read alot of the threads here everyone seems to be able to consume creamy broths and yogurt right after surgery? I'm still only able to have clear liquids, clear broths, jello and my protein shakes for about 2-3 weeks, then I can graduate to creamy soups and semi-solid mushies. I would kill to be able to have a creamy soup, but I don't want to screw up the doc's orders. Any info would be appreciated.

Ask your doctor if you can take a stool softener like Colace. It's not a laxative so you won't have the crampy watery stools but it will soften things up and make it a lot easier to pass.

I am rthree days post band and I have horrible gas feeling in my chest. It is hard if not impossible to get the fluids into me. I vomit up thick frothy white stuff. HELP

HI. I had my surgery on March 11 and had the same horrible pain in my left shoulder and across my chest. I was told it was from the anesthesia and would eventually work it's way out. It has. Walking helped and puting my feet above my heart helped. I too had trouble going, I purchased some tea for the digestive tract and it worked like a charm. Best of luck to you!!

call your doctor! You shouldn't be vomiting.
