laurenella82 625 Posted March 7, 2015 After a severe case of constapation and a stall that I believe to be a side effect of being literally full of.....you know.....I've decided to go back to the begenning of mostly liquids until I see my surgeon next week. I'm in some pain from all the hours of pushing and straining (tmi...sorry) plus a night of coughing and vomiting up all the nothing on my stomach. I just pray nothing inside is messed up or leaking! In the meantime, Protein OD, here I come!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elode 8,093 Posted March 7, 2015 @@laurenella82 Do you take a PPI? Def get that tea! Im having some right now. It's the only thing I use. Make sure you let it sit for About 20 mins before you drink it a it has time to steep all the med out! And drink it at night before you go to sleep That way it will work for you the next day!

laurenella82 625 Posted March 7, 2015 Ok thanks. What's a PPI?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big_Mama 511 Posted March 7, 2015 Ugh Constipation is such a b!+£#!! Smooth Move tea works well, but I hate having to wait that long, so usually I take some milk of magnesia to speed things up a bit. I don't feel right if I don't go for too long! Feel better girl! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue Sky 89 Posted March 7, 2015 Hope you are feeling better! I don't know what the acronym stands for but believe PPI is an acid blocker like Pepcid like my doctor prescribed for me to take for 6 months. So far it's worked! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justajenn 65 Posted March 7, 2015 PPI is a proton pump inhibitor like protonix, Prilosec, etc... Constipation had been the worst part of this journey so far. I have tried a whole list of stuff too. The Smooth Move tea had me up all night cramping with no results. Uugh! It's a whole trial to see what your body likes. I think I am finally starting to figure mine out. I'm taking colace twice a day and occasionally a shot of milk of mag. So scared to go back to feeling like I was giving birth. Lol. Oh and I think my stall might be over. Lost a couple pounds when I checked this morning! Hopefully my scale isn't teasing me lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
