Beware...I had a very nasty experience with compaction about 2 weeks out! It was like giving birth...so do yourself a favor and start taking a stool softener and some Fiber daily! Good luck! :blink:

10 days after surgery. And going into week seven, only one more time since surgery until I took matters into my own hands and took several laxatives in order to get some results.

No problem guess I'm lucky had bm day after surgery . I always did what the nurses said walk walk walk and will move on out and it worked for me.

I'm almost 3 months out and I still haven't had a solid nor an I regular, the surgeon said its not al since we eat so little. If they aren't worried about it then I guess I'm not!!!

I'm running out to get something now! I was fine after surgery, but since I've been on puree I'm having the hardest time going and this afternoon my back started to bother me. I think fiber and/or softener will do the trick. I wonder if I'm allowed prune juice-unsweetened, maybe. I'm trying to eat veggies but when your entire meal is 1/4 cup-it's hard to get any quantity in with most of it being Protein.< /p>

So actually I manged to have a BM this evening. It was crazy awesome. Of course it was liquid....I liken it to silt. It was strange but lovely all at the same time. I made a joke to my family that I've never been so excited to have a BM in my life and I felt like a brand new person lol :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
