Miralax in a cup of hot herbal tea did the trick for me. It was about a week and a half before I was able to go.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CANT TRUST MY FARTS?! we have a long' date=' healthy relationship that goes WAY back!? You are telling me they are going to betray me!?[/quote']

Uh.....yes.....in the worst possible way. Weird things happen in the beginning. What feels like a fart will likely be something else those first 2 weeks.

Best advice for a newbie!! Stay home for the first two weeks and after that buy some miralax because you will be missing your early squirty days :P

Not to be too gross , I thought the same thing as you. Just liquids that's probably why no BM . Until it came OMG!!! Was on the toilet for about 45 minutes ! Felt like a brick coming out !! Had to take stool softeners for a couple days . Good luck (I was also on high Protein .. Heard this will constipate you . )

It's even worse if you're diabetic and on Metformin, which already makes things a little more "urgent" than usual.

      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.
