Heccat2 154 Posted July 13, 2013 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. 1 Prynn65 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heccat2 154 Posted July 13, 2013 @verasa... I can only speak from my experience. I had pain for about 5-7 days. Everyone is different. Are you taking pain meds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
verasalibashi 4 Posted July 14, 2013 Thnx girls I'm walking a lot and taking my pain meds every 4-6 hours I hope I feel better soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nachae2005 21 Posted July 14, 2013 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).

gumbo1971 6 Posted July 14, 2013 I'm also four days post-op and just this morning my pain is starting to get better. Hopefully this will last for the remainder of the day. What happens after you drink anything? Do you get sick? Are you sipping slowly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marieh 18 Posted July 14, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marieh 18 Posted July 15, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
