Im Sorry But I Have To Ask.



Recommended Posts

Being on a full liquid diet since surgery on 9/24, is it normal that I haven't gone #2?? I don't feel constipated but I'm wondering what exactly should be happening and when??

I had mine on the 26th. And had a bowel movement two days later. It was all liquid coming out. I have yet to have a solid bowel movement yet.

My surgeon said it could take 5-7 days for a post op BM. If longer than 7 days he said use a Fleets enema because nothing you take by mouth at that point will do any good. I finally went at 5 days post op.

Took me about 9 days after surgery to go and it was painful..... still not as regular as I was prior to surgery. I purchased some Smooth Move Herbal Tea and need to be diligent in drinking it each evening.... It definitely works and is all natural!!

It was approx 2 weeks postop before I had my first. Everybody is different so hang in there!

I had to take Senokot Xtra to help me along tho.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
