I was just sleeved on 10/24 and it took almost 7 days for my 1st BM. It was not at all pleasant. It was very difficult and took awhile. Even though I did pretty good getting fliuds in it was hard. Anyhow I talked to my Dr. the other day at my 1 week checkup and was advised to use a stool softner along with benefiber and or Miralax. I did pick up colace and benefiber at the store but I only used them that day. The colace being another pill to take along with my other scripts it just too much for me right now. So I think I'll head back out and grab yhe miralax. Btw, I have gone daily since that first time but the poop really reminds me of a babys first in terms of look and texture. Sorry if that was TMI

Contipation isn't nice. I try to add broccoli normandy to my meal at least once a day. popcorn is really high in Fiber to. U can have but just a little. I pop my own and eat solo no butter. I eat it for regularity not for snack. If u eat too much u will be in trouble .

      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.
