Absolutely normal. Happens to most banders

The diarrhea should go away. I wouldn't worry about that. When I first was banded, my stomach would growl so loud that if someone was next to me they could totally hear it. It still does every so often. :lol:

liquid in, liquid out.

I called it the explosive decompression of my bowels. NOT fun, but something many of us go through. Along with the noises!

Going through this right now too going from liquids to mushy food. Its an every day occurrance and I am starting to get concerned. Glad to hear I am not alone.

I'm 48 hrs. post-op and it's not so fun!! I had to run to the bathroom and barely made it a couple times :(

Maybe it has to do with being on all liquids.. but it also smells not normal (sorry for the overshare) and is green!

Is my body just self-cleansing? Do a lot of ppl experience similar occurances? I dont' have a gallbladder- is that a factor? Is this a normal post-op thing?

Thanks!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
