Don't you hate it when.....???

Don't you hate it when....

You're 3 days post op and decided it was time to take Milk of Magnesia (laxative) and then every toilet in your house backs up?

This was me this morning... I loaded up on Milk of Magnesia. So, it's 2:15PM, time to go to the bathroom, and guess what I find??? The toilet is backed up. I plunge, and plunge, then try to flush. The Water comes all the way to the top. So quick like a bunny, I disconnect the water sprayer in the tank... then I walk out of my bedroom and my daughter is standing in her bathroom plunging with towels around the toilet. Then the shower and bathtub starts backing up. Meanwhile - remember I took Milk of Magnesia and we have NO toilets... so then I start getting sick to my stomach and decide one of those suppositories for nausea is in order because I REALLY don't want to throw up - and besides that where would I do it? Now there's something about the suppositories that makes you have to go even worse I guess - I'd never had one before! UGH!!!!!!! WHAT A DAY!!! :doh: Plumber is on the way....

A new "don't you hate it when" thread anyone?

Bless your heart....

Glad you can find a plumber on this holiday weekend.

When it rains, it pours.

( Or when you gotta go, you gotta go!)

Good Luck! :-)

      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.
