That is not good. You have to drink at least Water just to keep from getting dehydrated. Please call your doctor's office and inform them. It's better to be safe than sorry.

@verasa...

I can only speak from my experience. I had pain for about 5-7 days. Everyone is different. Are you taking pain meds?

Def not normal.... hope you have contacted your doctor. I was banded July 10 and haven't had any issues with any thin liquids. Jello, pudding, and yogurt felt odd going across the band, but I've had no nausea or vomiting, and really no hunger either. Just gas pains in my shoulder and under my ribs. And of course soreness throughout my tummy, especially where my port is. Walking and still taking pain meds frequently (less medicine today though, only 3 doses).

I'm also four days post-op and just this morning my pain is starting to get better. :D Hopefully this will last for the remainder of the day. What happens after you drink anything? Do you get sick? Are you sipping slowly?

I was banded on the 11th too!! I literally hate drinking plain Water but you gotta drink. I switched from water to propel which is much better for me. I haven't felt like having much else tho, the gas pains are still are a lil irritating. I'm staying away from yogurt & milk cause it makes me gassy. I started an ensure clear today, seems a lil too sweet but it's okay.

Good luck and call your doc 1st thing Monday about your liquid intake.

Miss Mo I'm getting nervous because I haven't had any bowel movement yet. But I have only been drinking propel and eating Jello. The day before my surgery I had to drink 2 bottles of laxatives & do 2 fleet enemas. I think I was literally cleaned out. I'll be calling my doctor tomorrow as well. I wonder if we get real bad diarrhea can we take immodium ad.

      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.
