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 :)

      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.
