I'm right there with ya. Pre-surgery I never understood why some people took reading materials into the bathroom - when I had to go, I had to go - no messing around. Post-surgery, I had to learn to poop all over again in order to stay regular and begin paying attention to the new signals my body was sending when I needed to go. Otherwise I'd wind up constipated. :-P

I take two magnesium tablets every day, and two stool softeners. Works same as milk of magnesia. Helps prevent Constipation.< /p>

Lol, no not at all. I got three kids and every time something got broke or there was fighting going on, they always gave me the same bs line "it wasn't me" and I would reply "you guys are full of it".

I completely understand! Now it seems like I only have to go about once a week. But when I do, its a doozy! I clog up the toilet about every time.

I think I'm going to start experimenting with some stool softeners and hopefully stay a little more regular.

      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.
