Constipation and burping

[beachblondeee 6]

I just got sleeve on 4/10. I am having a little trouble peeing because my muscles are so tight. I have not gone number two but jut started passing gas yesterday . It hurts a lilt eh wine I do pass gas. Has anyone experiment this ? Does anyone have any suggestions to facilitate going number one an two? I am wondering if I am dehydrated and that's why I can not. Go number one. I was going to get as enema for number two, any suggested?

Feed back is much appreciated.

I am only on my second week pre op liquid diet and have learned stool softener helps. Also, the jellos and broths should help with the dehydration. My wife had the gastric bypass so I have the knowledge of what she went through. My Dr. mentioned salt is ok as well because you will need it... Hope it helps...

It does hurt a little when you pass gas. Normal. I know this is weird, but for me Pickle Juice helped move things and satisfied my craving.

Were you on any liquid preoperative diet? If you have no real food going in it won't be coming out. That was a question I had, too.

It took me a week before I had a BM, the gas hurting I believe because there is a lot, after it starts coming out it gets easier and easier.

It was 8 days after my surgery before I had my first BM. I have struggled with Constipation and gas since my surgery even though I get 64 oz of Fluid a day. Just the way my system is. I did however just learn at my 1 year check that it is perfectly normal to only go twice a week. Stool softeners do help when taken correctly. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids all day but especially in the evening and then take 1-2 Ducosate Sodium softgels at bedtime. Just make sure you DO NOT buy the type of stool softener with added stimulants as they can cause long term problems, dependency and nerve damage to name two. One of my favorite sayings, is "When in doubt, check it out!" You should ALWAYS check with your doctor before taking anything new. We can only tell you what worked for us. Good luck!
