Diarrhea is common after lapband becuase your diet has drastically changed. You need seed some bulk in your diet so add some benefiber to your regimen and you will notice a huge difference. This worked wonders for me.

I had a plication one week ago also and am experiencing the same. I am still on liquids. I applied the BRAT (bananas, rice, apple, tea) diet witout the rice. I make banana smoothies, and have been drinking ice tea and apple jiuce for liquids. It has slowed down tremendously.

Well I had Constipation immediately after surgery which then rebounded into diarrhea while on the full liquid diet. I agree that you definitely have to bulk it up with some benefiber...plus when you move onto mushies it gets much better!!! GL!!
