Starting over 3.5 weeks out.

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!!

@@laurenella82 And why do you not have anything in your stomach?

[laurenella82 625]

I haven't been out to get any but I will get some when I go to the store Monday.

The night I was coughing and vomiting I had my last everything around 8pm. It was like 3 am when this happened. The last Thing I had was applesauce.

@@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!

Ok thanks. What's a PPI??

[Big_Mama 511]

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!

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!

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.
