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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
