If it's bright red it's not a worry. Be sure and take a stool softener or something. That's hard on you to get constipated enough to bleed. You may have some intense itching in the next day or two while the hemmroid or tear heals... Witch hazel helps a lot.

Yes, very common after pain meds is constipation...if it is bright red, usually nothing to worry about, need a stool softener, but obviously I'm not a doc! If its a dark red, that could mean internal and call your doc right away.

Today is one week for me today! I havent had a BM yet and dont feel contispated at all. Should I? Almost had to go to ER second day home becasue I could only drink 4 oz of Water and was getting dehydrated. But it feels so good not to be hungry. My son had a pizza on Saturday and I kept thinking damn I want a piece but then thought why your not hungry, That passed quickly and I was fine. I'm sure i'll have many more days like that.

      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.
