So I haven't gone to the bathroom in 7 days...3 pre-op and 4 post-op...should I be worried?

I've taken laxative for the last 3 days, but nothing is happening. I'm starting to get worried.

Even when I was on liquid pre-op diet, I was going every 2-3 days.

I have tried almost everything I went 8 days before last night I tried a tea called chiro kleenz. We sell it at the clinic I work at but I know Amazon sells it too. It worked in just a couple hours

Milk of Mag worked for me after surgery, I gave it 5 days after surgery before I took this step as, like you, I was pretty regular before the surgery, even being on a liquid diet and I feel like crap (no pun intended, lol) if I don't go.

I feel completely nauseous every day, and I think this is the cause of it. I'm going out tonight to see if I can find the MOM.

liquids in means nothing solid to come out - simple. Have patience, unless you are straining and in pain. Add plenty of stewed, strained fruits and that will help.

My doc sad to not let it get past 3 days. I used glycerin suppositories. They stimulate a different zone if you get my drift. Worked within 20 min and they are cheap.

Take one Senacot, you will go within 10 hours. It is natural and effective. You will need to add a powder Fiber to your drinks no as you do not get near the fiber you used to. All the Protein we get does not give us any fiber. You do not want to have to resort to suppositories. I had to once and that was enough. Being constipated is no fun.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
