You haven't been to the doctor in 5 months? You need to go and discuss the issues you're having and get a fill....or maybe an unfill. If it's too tight you're not going to lose any weight either. Lap band requires consistent follow up.

Make sure you are drinking at least 80 ounces of Water a day. I can almost guarantee that will help with the Constipation. Drug store remedies do not work properly unless you are drinking more water than usual.

I hope it gets better soon!

If you haven't had a bm in almost a month you NEED to call your doctor. Maybe you have a blockage. Please call them.

try drinking Smooth Move tea (traditional medicines). I drink a cup a night and it helps me go. I may not go the next day but the following day I will go. I have the same problem.

You haven't had a BM in a month AND you have severe heart burn, and you haven't seen a doctor??? You must have an incredibly HIGH tolerance for pain. I am sorry you are going through this, please see your doctor asap.

      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.
