Help!!! Does anyone have a remedy for severe Constipation. I've never had it in the past and really dont know what to take or how to treat it. RNY 7/16/03

I use Miralax. I was using it every day till I felt better and I still use it twice a week. Only way I will stay regular.

White stool could signal a liver issue, I would call your surgeon.

If you're having 2 or more Protein shakes, yogurts and chicken... your stole can appear to be white.

If its your liver it will be black.

Thanks everybody. I do believe one of my issues may be not taking in enough Water. I have to do better with that. And since I just got on the soft solids, I've been really enjoying the low fat cheese sticks which may also be causing the constipation....I see my surgeon tomorrow for my 1mth post op.

I was told that Constipation is normal... I might not be tho and to expect not to go every day until I take in more food. My Dr said they don't get concerned about it until the patients go beyond 10 with no BM. I think I went to 7 or 8 days. I felt horrible too. It was like I was filled with toxins that made me fill sick and tired.

      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.
