Doctor told me to drink Miralax every night. I also have this Smooth Move tea that I absolutely LOVE.

On my eighth day I had my first BM and let me tell you I wanted to cry. For those of you who haven't went lube up your butt and pray while you're on that toilet. I felt the sane like I didn't have to poop or anything. Passing gas fine no cramps until gravity called. It was hard as a rock an dry as can be. The old poop takes vengeance but it gets easier as it comes out. Sorry if its too graphic but its real. My butt still hurts

Stool softener / colace. I got the generic brand. Drank it with warm tea on day 3 - sleeve post op, miracle poop 3 hrs later. Poop #2 few hrs later. Made all the difference. Apparently alot of my pain was from clogged up pipes. Hang in there, after the poop n Finally a toot of the horn today alot of my pain has subsided.

Thank goodness it's not just me! I had to drink this laxative stuff the night before surgery which made me pee out my butt half the night. Since then? Not a drop! Doctor was totally not worried when I told him and said if it got uncomfortable or persisted too much longer I could use Colase (sp?) or miralax and see what happened.

I poop every 7-10 days. It sucks. I share with my family now, who give me "thanks for oversharing" looks. If I got day 8 then I start with the benefiber and miralax. I eat a lot of cheese. Lol

      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.
