Nykee I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU. I use to go all the time from everything but now I go like normal people do. As far as the pee I am up 2 or 3 times a night to go.

Bandman I hope you got some help by now. But is sounds like you are at the enema or suppoistory stage and then take stool softeners in the future to avoid this again. If you don't have anyone to do it I will volunteer my services.

You are one grand lady! He didn't take you up on it yet, but let it get bad enough, right?

Nah, bandman, the milk of magnesia will fix you right up. Good luck!!!

Day five was the magic number for me. You've had some serious trauma...your body is rebelling for a bit. Check in with your doctor before you do anything is what I was told...and then the problem sort of solved itself.

They said that it could take several days...even more if you had the bypass.

Hang in there!

I still have that problem occasionally. I use glycerine suppositories. They work in like 20 minutes.

Hi

I had the same problem and took a dose of Milk of Magnesia in a glass of Water. You need to take it in water to have it work really well.

Good luck!

I am on a prescription for IBS now (zelnorm), Should I continue to take it after the surgery?

I don't know...check with your doc to be sure. Maybe start a new thread and ask? You'll get better reples than on this thread, I'll bet.

Keep up the good work, bandman! :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
