I am having the same problem! I got rebanded on march 1st. I had diahrrea last week i guess cause of the gas. But i havent had a normal bowel movement for almost like 3weeks! Should I take a laxative or a stool softner? I just started eating mushy foods on monday and still no BM! :(

I have always had problems down there, so it was no surprise how blocked up I was after surgery. I feel blessed I read about the Miralax on here. It has made my life so much better. And, I am amazed because I have used other laxatives in the past and only had cramping and pain. Miralax works well. Switching to Fiber supplement has me gassy, but helping with the regularity. So glad we are all so honest with each other on here ;-)

Tomorrow will make 1 week with the band. All I want right now is to have a BM!!!! I'm sorry if this is TMI for some, but I'm miserable!!! I move on to mushy foods tmrw and can't wait!!! How long after your band did you have a BM?

I know your pain I was miserable and could not even go pee, without the pain from the other. ask your Dr about Miralax or milk of magnesia. and good luck

I totally understand. I have to use liquid colace every day because of BM problems. Ask your doctor if there is something you can take. Good luck.

You may find that you need to be on a stool softener and Fiber powder every day. I add a non flavored powder fiber to my Water every day. You don't even know it is there, but you do know when you forget. You should be regular, but you will need help to get that way because we are now eating so much Protein and pretty much no fiber.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
