Constipation



Recommended Posts

TMI for Sure. But i need some advice from my fellow sleevers. I was sleeved April 2012. I have had bouts of Constipation here and there. But. Nothing like what I am dealing with now. I have been taking Miralax for about a week now and have been able to go some. Yesterday I did an enema and within 30 seconds I had to go& it was all watery. I did another enemy today. Went right away again and watery as well. I am so bloated & my abdomen hurts. I'm so nauseous & I feel like there is more to come out. But. Nothing Else is coming out. Any suggestions?? Is this common? Do I call my doctor?

Yes. We are but virtual friends in a virtual world. If it's a medical issue, and "abdomen hurts - nauseous" is, call your actual doctor!!

So you were in the hospital for a full week due to constipation? I had my surgery 10 months ago. I don't know why just now this has become an issue. I did 2 suppositories yesterday and then 3 colace before bed. I have gone a couple times today. But not much at all. I hate going to the doctor. I'm sure it's just because my Fiber intake was low for a few weeks. I'm eating more Fiber now. And have been all week.

The crazy thing is for the last few days I have been so hungry & can eat alot more than usual. It's like I'm not getting full. We're you like that when you were constipated? Normally when I have been constipated in the past I can't eat because of the constipation. But. This time is totally different. Any thoughts??

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
