even after surgery....I'm a year and a half out..and bm are irregular...I sometimes only go once or twice if I'm lucky a week. My doctor states it is normal. Less food in..less food out. Every now and then I need a laxative to get rid of the Constipation if I feel really backed up.

I think I have all of ya beat!!! I was banded on the 28th of July and I made sure to drink a cup of coffee the day before to make sure I pooped before the big day!! Well my friends, I didn't go for ELEVEN DAYS!!!!! I didn't have pressure to go to the bathroom but I did have a lot of gas pains from the waist up so I didn't coralate the two! I finally drank 4oz of coffee and a hour a later I went, it was great haha!!! The gas moved its' way out shortly after that. I also noticed that I will only go about every three days now (on pureed foods) but during those three days I won't lose weight then after I poop I lose 2-3 lbs so I look forward to it now! 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.
