I'm 5 days banded and finally felt the need to "go". Without getting into too much information, I am in excruciating pain. I went to work today but left after an hour because of it. I am drinking plenty of Water, and trying to increase it even more. Is there anything else I can do. It's so bad, I'm thinking of going into the doctor's office tomorrow. :confused: Other than that, I feel terrific.

I had kinda the same problem. I wouldn't go for a week without using the bathroom. When I did, I was on the toilet for an hour or more, and I threw up. I was white as a ghost, and I had to take off work b/c I felt bad. I started taking milk of mag. and it does the job. My doctor recommends Colace so I got some of that to try.

i've been kinda having the same problem. it's gotten a bit better than it was a few days back but it's still hard to "go". i talked to my doc's office about it and they said try dulcolax suppositories or Miralax. so i tried the dulcolax and it worked alright but wasn't all that pleasant. i've had to use the dulcolax twice and afterwards i did experience some relief. i bought the miralax but haven't been able to bring myself to try it cuz it smells like glue. yeah. and there's just something that doesn't seem right about mixing something that smells like glue in with Water and drinking it. i bought some milk of magnesia and am probably gonna try that if i haven't gone on my own by bedtime tonight. i haven't tried m of m post band but i used it a few times pre band and it always worked great. just like it says "gentle overnight relief". :confused:

      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.
