I Need Some Help Advice. Banded On Monday And Having Issues



Recommended Posts

I was banded on Monday and the funny thing is I felt great on Monday. At least 5 hospital staff told me I looked great !! My doctor requires and overnight stay and I woke up Tuesday to a whole different ball game. Severe nausea to the point that they wouldn't discharge me until Wed afternoon. They think it was a reaction to the narcotics so I am not allowed to take any pain medicine. Trying to suck it up , drink and walk but now I have severe yellow diarehea( sorry to be so graphic). I thought I prepared myself but I am so sick and I just want to cry, I am sure if will get better but I just wanted to hear that from someone who has been there.

I haven't been there but please keep yourself hydrated. I know that you are either constipated or have diarreha........most are constipated. It will get better, just keep sipping.

The liquid diet does that. And then the meds from surgery. Once you get on mashies it returns to normal;)

I had the same exact problem. The morphine was too much so they switch my pain meds. It gets better. Promise!

All I can say is I wish I had diarreha right about now, the other option isn't that fun either.

Hi. I got the diarrhea too. I think its the anesthesia because i had back surgery last year and the same thing happened. Sorry you're feeling so lousy. I remember feeling the way you are. I was banded 6 weeks ago snd i feel great now and have lost 38 pounds already. Hang im there. You will feel better before you know it!!

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
