Have you asked your surgeon what to take? I heard in one of my pre-op classes that some cold remedies (including Vitamins and herbs) can interfere with anesthesia. So be careful! I'm praying you get better before surgery.

Hey guys. I have been super busy and haven't been able to he on here but when I read this. I had to reply. I too am having the same Constipation issues. My surgeon did tell me to try Miralax. I have only used it once but it worked. He said this was gentler than milk of magnesia. So he wanted me to do that instead.

Well hello lady!! Yeah, we've totally been backed up. Except I finally got to go today. Lol. I'll try miralax in my drinks tomorrow and see if it'll keep me regular. Otherwise I'm popping the stool softeners.

I have to do the whole miralax thing next Tuesday... but I'd love to just have a good poop before then! Haha. Maybe I'll hit up Walgreens tomorrow and see what they recommend.

I took colace all through my pregnancy and it helped me tremendously. Also, are you getting enough Water? I know we are on the 'quids but I have to ask. Lol.

Hubby got me the kind that dissolves in Water and was totally tasteless. So it seemed like just regular water. So that Was good. Today was the first day feeling backed up. I'm sure it won't be the last but trying to get all the water in too

I'm drinking a shit ton of liquids. Lots. Lots n lots. Did I mention I'm drinking lots? I'm peeing constantly too. And it's practically clear like Water too.

I finally figured out how to log crap on MFP tonight so I'm feeling accomplished. But for reals, my head hunger is raging and it's very hard for me right now Bc I think the little bit of Protein n veggies I'm allowed just whets my appetite for more food. And I know it's in my head but it's so hard. Grrrr

      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.
