Like I don't know if I just gave birth or if I had anal sex with no mercy, but that was the hardest shit of my life literally! I tried pushing it back in and it wouldn't go back in, I tried pushing it out and it wouldn't come out. I tried rocking back and forth and side to side, the toilet seat almost broke like.... I am 16 days post op as of today I've been taking dulcolax, colace, and suppositories I can not go to the restroom without some stimulant and today I tried coffee. Everything from my stomach to my anus is hurting right now. I don't know if my butt will ever recover, it's still gaping. If this is how it's going to be then I need a refund on my stomach. My question is how long does it take to get back to normal and what other methods can i try to go to the restroom without complications? I've tried milk which worked briefly, I'm off pain meds, i get in my liquids, and I'm exercising. And preop my normal was everyday.

I have the opposite problem, I'm 16 days post op too, and I haven't had anything that wasn't pure liquid, like clear with a little sediment. I hope you find relief and something to help you out.

Before I was sleeved on 12-14, I went at least once a day. For the first 10 days after, it was nothing but liquid. Now, I'm lucky if I go once a week. I'm not constipated, but I definitely am not going very often.

That ruined my whole appetite. I think I need a bottle of tylenol and I'm going to try and drink some Protein and lay face down for recovery. Thanks guys!

Seriously you could try a brown cow which is milk of magnesia mixed with warm prune juice and butter. Or you might need lactose. But you will curse the day you take that.youll get a cherry red baboon butt from all the wiping, but :) bright side no more Constipation.< /p>

I suffer from chronic Constipation for years and I haven't even had surgery yet , I take dulcolax and sennoxen. I'm sure it will get worse when I have surgery but my body is used to the laxative so I am hoping I don't have any more constipation than I already have. I have tried all kinds of Fiber before and it never worked for me.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
