I am almost 2 weeks post op. I had my first bm a few days ago, but nothing since then. Been on pureed foods since 3 days post op. Should I be concerned about this? Is there anything I can take to help it along?

My surgeon sent me home with a prescription for Colace twice per day. A lot of people on here use Miralax and a hot tea called Smooth Move. You might check with your doc just to double check what they recommend.

I got it from my grocery store. It's called Harris Teeter, but some people said they have it at Walmart also.

My back and drain site on the right is what hurts me as well. I had surgery on 2/14 and the drain was pulled on 2/22 (very painful). I have had 4 other drains on surgery and nothing like this one. The incision is still painful and I get like stinging sensations.

Stinging is nerves that were cut and healing.....my drain hurt when they pulled it too. Nurse told me it was deep,

Surgery date: 2/14

Lost 35 pounds already! !! Feeling really good. I just get tired easy. I'm lucky to get 500 calories a day. So I run out of steam quick.

I add my Protein to my Decaf coffee. Tastes much better. Just make sure to mix protein with a little Water and mix' date=' before adding. Perfect way to get protein in.[/quote']

That's a great idea. It would act as sweetener and Creamer right?

      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.
