Jenny 0 Posted May 15, 2013 I'm glad to have found this site. I too am in a similar situation. I had the lapband removale/by pass surgery on April 29. So today is the 2 week anniversary. The first few days, I felt pretty good. (except for the Arm gas pain) It lasted about 9 days. It sucked, but I knew it would pass. The first week, I was trying my hardest to get Water and Protein Shakes in. I was doing, mostly ok. I dont think I ever met my goal, but I was coming pretty close. A few days ago, My left side hurt. It was sharp, but I looked online, and when I read its normal, I felt better. I moved onto harder liquids on day 10. I seem to tolerate greek yogurt, cottage cheese rather well. All in all I was doing ok. As of Last night, I was nauseas. Today, all day, same thing. I never vomited once, but felt like I was about to. I think it was a little bit of Constipation. My stool seems ok, not dark or bloody. I do get to see my dr on thursday for my first check up, and I will make sure I let her know of the little problems I have been having. I do think, Im partly dehydrated. My tounge today was white, and very dry feeling. So I will try much harder to reach those goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What did your stricture feel like? Is that something that is a 'natural' complication, or is it something we can somehow prevent? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

macy1952 0 Posted May 16, 2013 I would take 2 bites of food or sometimes liquid & I would vomit. Really got bad I couldn't eat anything. Dr. said really not a complication 5% of patients would develop. I had it before surgery several years ago due to GERD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
