embarassing question

I had diarhea for the first couple weeks. Now its more of the opposite problem.

couple of days...then it slowly gets better. Thicker liquids and Protein helps...creme of chicken soup....protein shakes etc.

So glad I found this...swear I thought it was just me. Was banded the 25th as well. Have had diarrhea for the last 4 days I have NO energy...tried going to work yesterday and am back home today. I am not drinking Protein drinks (not on my 'list') but perhaps I should try them???

I had a similar thing the second night after surgery--the nurses said it was because of the swallow test--but honestly, I have had a lot of surgery and end up having uncontrollable diarrhea every time, usually somewhere around the day after surgery, so I suspect it probably has something to do with the anesthetic or all the meds they give you too (my other surgeries had nothing to do with my digestive tract). Things have been pretty much fine and under control since, except it happened to me again yesterday (I had surgery 2/21, so I'm a week and a half post-op)
