High Protein, low fiber, low liquids, pain meds - all = Constipation. Make sure to get plenty of liquids, and walk! Walk walk walk walk walk! I would stay away from meds to help you, unless your surgeon approves. Mine told me to stay away from everything but colace and milk of magnesia. Colace first try - if that doesn't work, then go with the milk. Thankfully I only had one real bad day and I won't go into the details on that.

Oh dear God. I finally pooped last night and now I can’t stay out of the bathroom for more than two hours. Be careful what you wish for!! [emoji90]

I pooped!!! I THINK??? 4 days of colace and finally milk of magnesia. I’m not exactly sure what came out of me, but I will assume it was poop.

Me three days post op: “Dear God, will I ever poop again?”
Me six days post op: “Dear God, why is there a waterfall coming out of my butt for the forth time today?”
I am learning to be careful what I wish for, that’s for sure [emoji38]

You almost get emotional and teary eyed when it happens. You feel like giving an acceptance speech!

I had my sleeve surgery on 2/6 and haven’t been able to poop yet. I did finally start farting today and even that was incredible! I swear I heard the Hallelujah chorus!

Yes!!!! The poopies are simply heaven!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩 Congratulations on ya gas releases [emoji100][emoji947]

Sleeved 2/6 and no poopies. Lol. I can’t wait;)

If you're on the two week pre-op liquid diet of Protein Shakes, that's a lot of Protein and zero Fiber. My advice is to buy both Miralax and suppositories pre-op. Mix miralax in Day 2 post-op and I needed to use a suppository on day 3 or 4. Since then I've been really regular (TMI) but yes every visit to the toilet is a gift.

I figured I wasn't alone! I am glad you started the conversation.

I never understood why there would be smiling poop emoji until my post-op BMs

Lol we all love it when it happens. When the pressure in the abdomen is released, it is like opening the pearly gates.

bahahahahaha! Nope. Cudos girl! I'm all about the poop! [emoji3]

Am I the only one?? That thinks a bowel movement during phase I post op is freakin amazing 🤷🏽‍♀️‍♀️🤣 OMG I’ve never thought I’d miss it sooo much (whew)!! Possible TMI?! But I’m sure I’m not the only one???

Hey there

Does anyone use any cool tracking apps to make this process a bit easier?

Good morning... As of yesterday I've lost 25lbs... I pray that your discharge goes well [emoji4]

Hi,
I also recently had my surgery on 2/2/18. Overall not to bad just a little back pain. I am getting enough Fluid and i have to keep track of my Protein count each day. I am getting tried of drink the same thing. It gets boring after a while.
On my calendar, i place the what each week is. Just to know what stage I on that day.
Later

I had my sleeve done on 1/17... At this point I am not in pain, I never had too much pain... I try hard, but I don't get all of my fluids in

I was sleeved a week ago today and feel really good the first few days liquid was hard but I got down a lot the last few days... I really only had gas pains and they are gone now... Good luck [emoji256]

Anyone else sleeved recently? How are you doing with pain and fluids intake?
