Banded 8/15 - Diarrhea and bad cramps- help

AmyF · August 25, 2007

I know that liquid in=liquid out but the cramps are fierce. It's 4:30am and I have been up for an hour with bad cramps and diarrhea...sorry TMI! I have taken Pepto but I am really uncomfortable. Should I take Immodium?

I haven't been perfect on the liquid diet, some ice cream in the Protein shakes and gazpacho Soup (bad, bad idea) but I was pretty good today so I don't get it.

Will it get better once I'm on mushies? A cracker and ginger ale would be good right now.

Feelin' yucky, at least the Red Sox won two games today!

I would call your doctor. Mine put me on antibiotics right away when I told him.

Tell your doctor, it could be a simple stomach bug but you're pretty fresh post-op so I'd mention it. Taking Immodium shouldn't hurt anything. I've taken it post-band without problem. (Unless you think its not a normal case of diarrhea and something more serious--if that's the case then I'd call the office now...someone will be on call.)
