I'm 8 days out and had a stool 6 days ago so I been taking stool softener and today it worked. I'm still constipated so it was hard going to the bathroom when I was finished it seems like I was wiping infinty. can we develope some kind a leakage with are stools. Sorry I know this tmi but I want to no if this is normal and it's just because my body is ajusting or because the stool softeners.

Keep in mind liquid in.. liquid out. I find that it goes from one extreme to the next sometimes.

You could also have overdone it with the softeners. I haven't had to take anything as of yet so I'm not familiar them.

Some swear by the squatty potty stool. Luckily I haven't had any issues as of late but if it returns I'm definitely getting one :)

Hi Moniquea, congrats on the surgery. I have surgery on Monday and was wondering about the drainage tubes. I have read some have them and some don't. Just wondering if you have them and whether they are painful or not.

Hi. I didn't have to get drainage tubes my surgeon only put them if I had risk or complications during surgery. My friend had it she said it was more uncomfortable then painful

      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.
