Does anyone else do a happy dance when they finally have a bm?



Recommended Posts

I seriously feel like dancing after I am able to poop!! I have always been regular, but since surgery this seems to be an issue. I know I have read many others say that same, but it made me smile and took me to the potty training days with our kids!! I actually feel like doing a happy dance. Lol

Yeah....Ya because our bodies are consuming to little we tend to use most of what we take in....now realizing that there should be waste it is not nearly what our bodies are used too. But I am always relieved when I go....

Me, too. I mentioned my, uh, infrequency to my surgeon last Friday. I've added Benefiber once a day. He suggested Miralax once a day, too, but I haven't added it yet.

I still mix a teaspoon of miralax in my morning shake. I had the most severe and painful Constipation several times in the first 6 weeks or so. In that time our bodies are severely lacking in Fiber and trying to get the Protein in.

I found a children's Fiber Gummy. I take about 4-5 of those throughout the day. It helps.

I've made two poodles (two days in a row) since my surgery and I am three weeks out. I have no doubt I will do a dance if I ever poo again. It's been nine days.

Girl, you might need some intervention! Nine days it just too long! You are going to drop a pound or two when that lets loose. ;)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
