I went about 7 days then I did a dulcolax suppository. Within 15 minutes I had two good ones. After that I found Gummy Fiber and I chew two every night. Now I go about every 3 or 4 days:)

5 days is a while....there are so many options. I won't list them all here, but your local drug store probably has a whole isle dedicated to your problem. Some work harsh and fast...stranding you on the toilet for most of the day...others are more gentle, but may be less effective. Consult with the pharmacist there if you have any questions about which may work the best. If you've taken something that has worked for you in the past, go that route. And yes, drink more Water. You don't want to make a habit of taking chemical/stimulant laxatives all the time.....you body can get dependent on those. If it becomes a continuous problem you may want to consider a soluble/bulk fiber...like Benefiber in the future. But you must drink lots of water, especially if you're taking a daily Fiber supplement, otherwise it may constipate you more.

      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.
