Merry Christmas dec foljs. I just want to make you aware without scaring the inportance of bowel movements' date=' stool softeners, etc.

I am sure this wont happen to any one but this mornibg I was admitted to the er for fecal impaction. {think Constipation x1000!}

I suffered at home from 9to 1, was in the er being helped not waiting from 1 to 7 am

My wish for you is be diligent, even tho I thought I was, and hydrate, and keep track of movements.

Oh Banjo, I'm so sorry. At least you didn't hesitate to go to the ER. I took some Miralax yesterday and it helped. I've been working on getting in more liquid throughout the day.

It was a week for me also. Take your stool softeners even if you think you don't need them. My doctor explained that when nothing solid goes in, nothing solid comes out.

Hope all are doing well and wishing everyone a happy holiday.

Been absent for a few days, was hiding in an undisclosed location awaiting the end of the Mayan calendar.

i don't think how bad i got was normal. but my doc has had me on some solids(jello,pudding,yogurt) besides liquids. stool softener is the best preventative. i did all the right things, but $#:! happens! or in my case, it didn't.

      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.
