Accidents

[nothingwasleft 1]

Was banded on Monday, have had really no problems after we got new meds and the vomiting stopped. But I have been passing gas, and I must be very careful of accidents. Does this get better or am I gonna have to take a change of clothes everywhere?

hmmm havent heard that one. could it be the Protein Shakes not agreeing with you if you're drinking them?

I'm drinking my shakes and Water. Not sure what it is. Maybe trying too hard to get the gas out.

I hate that! My son and I made a joke of it. I call it America's Favorite new surrpise game. 'That Wasn't Gas.'

Since I started I had a few emergency washings, but your body settles down, right now its reacting to the sudden change of diet.

I was in full liquids for 10 days before with no accidents. If this keeps up, I'm calling the Dr.

It passes! Almost happened to me when I took my son to a

Function at the public library about day 6! I had to keep running to the bathroom...pretty embarrassing!

It passes. Seems to be worse for some people than others but just be prepared and move quickly.

I had my worst time when I was on the pre-op liquid diet. As was said earlier, liquids in liquids out. But I promise you, it will improve as your diet improves. Take care! Karen

It could also be related to all the sugar free items. I noticed having a lot of diarrhea before surgery but was also on Clear Liquids for a week, all sugar free. I have IBS so this was just a week long massive flair up. But my surgery was 4/2 and since I've cut out all rice , bread and Pasta I have no IBS problems. Thinking I just have gluten intolerance instead. Try to watch amount of sugar free items and try to keep hydrated with plan ole Water. Good luck

Thank you for your comments, I have believed for a while that a lot of IBS is gluten intolerance. My children and grandchildren all have a gluten intolerance. My son has been diagnosed with celiac disease. He does fine following a gluten lapband diet because we can't eat much bread anyway! Good luck, Karen
