I Have A Question About Going To The Bathroom

[WingsOfAButterfly 18]

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 took the Milk Of Magnesia last night and it worked great. No cramps at all. It went down very easy too. Thanks for the advice everyone!

No it's not. I took some more MOM tonight to make sure it's all out. I know, Tmi, but it happenes, lol.

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....

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

lstacey- how is your stomache doing? Has the swelling/ inflammation gone down at all? Your in my prayers... Positive thoughts your way for a faster healing period. Stay positive you can do this!

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.
