Diarrhea

I just recently had my lap band surgery (June 2nd) and I'm getting a lot of diarrhea. Sometimes it seems like it's just all Water. Is this common?:tongue_smilie:

- Thanks.

June 2? What's your diet like? If you were banded JULY 2 I'd say yes it's common (especially if you aren't taking an opiod pain killer)...but June...would depend on your diet.

Are you drinking alot of fruit juices? I was banded July 8 and the nutritionist told me that after day 3 you should start dliuting your juices with 1/2 Water or it will cause diarreha (bc of the too much sugar). Try finding juices that are lower in sugar as well.

Also, remember if you are in the liquid phase, you are pretty much emptying your bowels.. so when you do go, there wont be much substance.

Hope that helps :ohmy:

My diarrhea started the day before my surgery (when I started clear liquids) and continued for the first week after. I kept thinking liquid in liquid out. I still drink Welch's fruit juice (its sugar free minus the natural sugars) and I still have to Water it down. I was banded on 6/25. Good luck to you.
