So how does one lose almost two pounds in about an hour? The non glamorous way of course! Thank you to suppositories, I am not full of crap anymore. I have been having horrible Constipation over the last week. Haven't had a bm for six days. Finally gave up and ran to walgreens to get the suppository and it worked, thank god. I guess benefiber is going to be in my daily routine.

What finally worked was the dulcolax suppository. I was taking peri colace for several days, but it didn't help. I hope it gets better for you. I know it sucks!

Is this something you should do on a day off from work? Never had this issue as I was having normal bm for the first week and 1/2 post op but I also haven't gone in about 5 days so ill probably try this. I'm afraid it will hurt lol

I did it today at like 5pm and had my bm by 6. My guts are cramping still, but not as bad as earlier. I would definitely do it when you're home and near a toilet and have lots of time. I used it as a last resort because I had so much discomfort.

Don't wait to long without going for a bm. I know from experience it can cause you a lot of pain. If I don't go in two days I take something. Last month I lost 5lbs once I finally went and it took me a couple days to finally get rid of all of it. The stool can become impacted and then there's trouble. Good luck girls.

If you don't want all the cramping my post op instructions were to use milk of magnesia as directed

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
