It's so annoying I know the feeling. I hope it goes away. I wonder if we can take pepto?

I have the poops all the time but I had my gall bladder removed 10 wks after my RNY. I am even on anti-poops meds and they work sometimes. My surgeon says that sometimes you become lactate intolerant after surgery :( I am trying different combos of foods to see what is giving me the problem.

Not sure but pepto seems ok, ask your doc office.

For constipation...sorry musical.... try Smooth Move herbal tea. I drink a cup every other day. It's all natural and really helps!!!

My case of the poopies has calmed down. I hope it gets better.

Now if only my stomach would stop hurting from surgery

Good but get some Imodium for standby.

      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.
