I'm 3 1/2 months out and never in my life been constipated, I'm constipated and very very uncomfortable, laxatives scare me so i took 2 stool softeners and drank a cup of coffee (even though I'm not supposed to). I've been walking as much as i can with the pain I'm in, and barely was able to bring myself to leave the house to get some prune juice and guava juice (I'm hoping to find some no sugar added guava juice that's actually real Guyana) I just can't believe how painful this is

Try fresh pineapple not canned. The enzyme bromelain in it helps break down the Protein we digest.

Just want you to know I comiserate. Miralax is my best friend. I also take SS every day. Although at the moment I am not having the issue, due to my dumping episode this morning. That cure for Constipation I do not recommend.

It's funny i read your post earlier and thought good I'd love to poop but not cuz of that!!

I just broke down and took some laxatives that are supposed to work over night. My mom have them to me, i said "they aren't going to make me sh** my pants in the night are they? She started cracking up, she's getting a good Kick out of this cuz she's not a regular bm person like i am, she things I'm being a big baby, but damn it, it hurts!! Of course by hurts i mean it's really uncomfortable :-)

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
