Oh my gosh I know right?! I've never been constipated like this before! It's almost a relief when it is diarrhea! I tried a little salsa and it was fine! No issues so far! Yay!! Hope you feel better soon!

Me too! So uncomfortable most days because nothing is moving. Last week it took 2 days doses of 4 tsp of milk of magnesia to even get a little relief. This week trying Miralax daily to see if it will help.

Muralax, it's expensive but a capful in every night in your favorite drink will help you to go regular

I tried 2 chicken drum sticks buffalo style and I was ok with eating them and had no problem and I am about 3 1/2 weeks out. I also chewed the food until I was sure it would be ok before swallowing.

Warm tea or coffee...completely dissolves (though its not BAD in cool liquids either). I have a 9 year old that tends to be constipated, we make hot tea and mix in the miralax and share a cup of 'poop tea'....but we're weird! :). Hope it works!!!

I would give anything to be constipated: (

For the last six weeks I have had diarrhea every day 6-10 times per day. It hurts. It always feels like I've been punched in the stomach. It always takes 30_45 mins to go. My job is getting mad at me because I'm away from my desk so much and getting behind on my work because of it. They are threatening to fire me.

My doc says no and is supposed to be sending me a list of Fiber foods that bind. Hope that works...

Oh no! That's terrible! Six weeks! An they are only going to send you Fiber info to bind?? That seems like a long time to have that with pain, maybe you need a second opinion?? Hope it gets better. What about cheese? That always plugs me up! As far as your work, can you get a medical excuse and that way they can't take action due to laws against termination stemmed from illness??? Praying everything works out for you!

      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.
