Hello! I had my lapband put on on March 20th. I have experienced a few problems..I have had diarrhea for 3 days. All I read about in my literature is Constipation. Has anyone experience my problem? Can we take the pink stuff? :tt1:

That is perfectly normal to experience. I had it for about 5 days after surgery. My doc said if it lasts for about 7 days then call him because of the risk of dehydration. Constipation will follow for sure. I am finally getting close to being normal again. Stool softners were a great tool during that rough time.

Thank you for the response. I am feeling better today. This is my sixth day. I was worried. I will be sooo glad to be able to actually "chew"! I wish I could have done it instead on Weight Watchers, but I could not stay in control. I am addicted to food. I am a lifetime member of WW and would lose weight and put more back on. Now, sometimes I think about all the healthy food I could be eating now!!!:cursing: I was so tired of being FAT!! I feel better already after losing already.
