could it be you're impacted and need an enema?

could it be you're impacted and need an enema?

I would drink milk of magnesia every day until then. That is a serious matter.

Since surgergy I drink MOM at least 1 time a week to prevent bowel obstruction/locking.

Hello all. I am a potential sleever in Memphis, TN. I meet my surgeon next week.

I'm from Southaven, Ms...how are U doing with your sleeve?

Hey everyone. Just an update. I was sleeved on 10/22. When I weighed myself at home the day of surgery, I was 214.8lbs. Today I got on the scale and I weighed 206.4. I ended up coming down with a cold so it is a pain to keep blowing my nose and coughing up phlegm. I habe been walking around. I walked twice yesterday. I am going to try to get more Protein down today since I only got 14oz down yesterday. I calculated it wrong yesterday. I thought I had 17 but it was only 14. So I need to get more in today.

I hope you feel better soon. At the beginning it's hard to get in all your protein and liquids.< /p>
