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.

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>

      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.
