I Have A Question About Going To The Bathroom



Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone for the great advice. Ive been trying to drink as much as I can. I have not been dehydrated yet, thank God. I will try the MOM tonight and see what happens. I'm not really eating that much but I know I have to go. I can feel it. My tummy is full and hurts.

I wonder if part of this could be because of all the Protein as well? I remember when I tried Atkins...one of the main reasons I stopped was Constipation. Just thoughts....

Man I'm having the opposite problem and my hems are hurting and bleeding grrr

Are you still on liquids?

Good news- once you start eating that will go away

Bad news- once the Constipation starts, you'll wish you could go back to liquids.< /p>

I'm on iv nutrition or TPN I can try anything up to full liquids which does help a little but I'm just so swollen it sucks I'm either throwing up or diarrhea or both.. I have had problems with dumping since my gall bladder came out I was in the bathroom for hours at a time so constipation is wanted at this moment. But not lasting

My stomach is still swelled. I just called dr cause my throat feels swelled up. I still feel very sick especially when taking meds. Thank you for the prayers I need them and mine go to the others having issues too! Thanks for checking

You are so right!! The nurse just called me back and said I need to call my family physician. So now I will have to pay copayment and watch they will say its from my stomach

This has made me seriously consider switching to the PPO coverage instead of H.M.O. that I have now!! WHY does everything have to be so complicated when it comes to insurance? :\ IDK if PPO would even be any better!

I'm going to a surgeon over an hour away, it worries me that if I have complications that I'll have to go that far to be seen. :(

      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.
