Did the fleet few days ago. I literally ran to the bathroom within minutes of it being done. More liquid came out. I take the Centrum Multivitamin so whatever iron is in there. I actually haven't taken it in a week bc I didn't want to get backed up more but I need to start it back up today.

Update - okay SO I had a normal bowel movement today- I mean it was nothing huge but it was normal! This really made my day.

What I believe is happening - I had a bad case of hemorrhoids (sorry tmi) and that was causing lots of pressure in my bottom on top of the pressure of gas and I've read never to trust a fart which had me running to the bathroom. Lol. Then thinking I was constipated I did the stuff to help which made my diarrhea worse which made my hemorrhoids worse. So I added soft foods back into my diet the last two days. Also I think a lot of it is anxiety bc yesterday busy all day and I hardly had any issues.

@@Riz2006 I am so glad you are better - I just got done with a Fleet enema, oy ( -- I haven't tried Miralax, but heading to Walgreen's soon to get some -- I'm almost 10 weeks post-bypass and doing really well -- EXCEPT for this miserable, painful, horrible, no-good Constipation, UGH UGH UGH!!!!! I was this-close a few days ago from going to ER -- I started on raw veggies recently, so having salads and black bean Soup last 2-3 days and praying the Fiber helps -- it's no consolation when you're straining till you're traumatized, crying and red-in-the-face, but you are most definitely not alone.
