No BM in two weeks?

[NikkiDoc 312]

Make sure you check with your surgeon regarding which products you are allowed to use. Sennakote is one he does not let me use. Pepto Bismol is another.

You should call him/his office to let him know that you have not gone in 2 weeks.

For the poster asking about going to the ER try calling your doctor's office first. Hopefully you have a 24 hour nursing line and they should have recommendations. They will know the preferred drugs etc.. for post bariatric surgery. If you can't get a hold of the office in a reasonable time I would go to an Urgent Care first choice and the ER second choice.

Some insurance companies also have a 24 hour nurse hot line. Mine does.

My doc never mentioned to me when I should have one but I had my first one Monday, surgery was the 10th. I was prescribed liquid Colace to use as needed. I never used it.

Smooth Move is the best I just discovered it a month ago and use it once a week.

Went to the ER, wasn't fun My bowels were impacted which also shut down my bladder. So they had to use a catheter and they manually unimpacted me! Back home today and feeling like a million bucks.

When I was doing the HCG diet we had to drink a tea called "Smooth Moves" every other nite before bed. I have just started using it again with good results.

@@GreenEyes604 Unfortunately this happened to me yesterday! I had to buy a fleet enema for the first time and my mother helped to...administer it, lol. Needless to say in about 2 minutes I felt some much needed relief!

I have the Smooth Move tea in four different flavors. My favorite is chocolate because I can steep it in my hot chocolate at bedtime and not taste that herbal flavor so much. I use it if I haven't gone for a couple of days. Everything is just fine by morning. I also keep stool softener, Miralax, magnesium tablets, prune juice, and apples on hand. I guess it's the old Girl Scout in me.......be prepared.

[Jazmundo 58]

I'm in daily miralax now, hopefully that helps

I would go to the er if I was in pain. I've been doing milk of magnesia for two days now. I feel action in the gut and gas but still no bm.

Then try to get more Water in while you are taking it

Smooth Move tea did the trick for me.
