Totally know what you mean. .I wasn't told about constipation and had the worst pain trying to go...I too ended up with hemorrhoids because of it...sadly I did end up in er because of a horrible pain on my side..dr thought it was due to pushing to hard..had I been told before leaving hospital to take stool softener and milk of magnesia..would have saved me from being stuck in the toilet for nearly an hour crying in pain. I take them every day and the milk of magnesia every other day plus fiber. .I do hope it gets better.don't want to depend on meds in order to poop...

Omg...I have pain that feels like something is sure twisting inside...However ct scan came back clear...

Mine was about six days ..watery at first since you are on liquids only..however. .after that constipation will probably kick in and thats where you need to be prepared. .I learned the hard way how tough passing stool was ..had to call advice nurse and they recommended milk of magnesia plus stool softner...wish they would have told me that before I left hospital and not after I spent nearly 1hr in the toilet with excruciating pain....perhaps you can start taking it now...

How soon after surgery can you start wearing shapewear? Im on my 3rd week post op...

Shakes count as liquid intake. ..I put protein mix in my water also..getting my protein plus liquids at same Time. .

So today I started pureed foods..my plan said 1/4 cup eggwhite scrambled for breakfast. .had that n did fine digesting..did not feel full but just ate that amount.. Lunch 2oz tuna w/ teaspoon of light mayo. . Ate that with no problem. .. Question do you eat and not get full feeling? Im 2weeks post op..afraid I might overdue it and not know it

Im 2 weeks post op..400 calories and I do meet my protein intake. .if you are not lactose intolerant..couldn't you mix protein with non fat milk??? That should up your calories...

I read gall bladder issues come up a lot on here. .my dr gave me meds to prevent gall stones ..I have to take for 6mos. Did anyone who had gall bladder problems after surgery ..did you not take meds?.do the meds work...?

had to tell my clients I was taking time off to deal with personal matters..will resume scheduling cake orders in about 4 to 6 weeks. ..enuf said!

You need to go asap..don't take anything that wasn't prescribed to you..could make you sick...the sooner you get medical care betters your chances for any future lawsuits..there clearly was some medical negligence the moment they decided to discharge you so soon after your surgery. If you need to wait few hours at er as much as you hate it..it is necessary. .you can also call 911 get ambulance to take you in to insure there is less harm done to you getting in and out of car...im 2 weeks post op and I still hurt getting in and out of my car...don't hesitate. .get proper medical care..

Btw..I don't get hungry feeling either..ever!..I guess that's good!

I heard biotin and look into nioxin shampoo treatment for hair loss

#1...Have your husband take you to ER...#2..then have him call your insurance member service department file a grievance #3. Get a lawyer this is so upsetting to me...I told my dr. If he couldn't do laparoscopic surgery then cancel surgery. ..clearly someone is not doing there job at this hospital. ..wish you the best!

Thanks Pam:)

My stay was overnight..surgery on Wednesday. .discharged on Thursday :/

Im 2weeks post op and I got my rny through Kaiser Permanente. Had to do a 6 mos program 12 classes total one of which talked about the "reasons" we over eat...they offer counseling/dietician/support group for 1 1/2 year post op...to help us through these struggles. ..do you have anything similar to this offered to you? ? Sometimes emotional issues can make us eat...perhaps might help you to seek counseling perhaps go to a support group in your area. ..just a thought.
