Hi Everyone,

I am new to this board but I really needed to see if anyone else was having/has had this similar issue when it comes to going to the bathroom (pooping if we're being real). I told my doctor and he didn't seem worried, but its really bothersome. I was regular right after surgery with no problems until I hit the Puree stage, ever since then I have been going every two days (which seems ok to me) my only problem is when I do have to go to the bathroom I get an intense stomach ache while going, and sometimes for another 30 minutes afterwards or on one occasion the whole day I felt my stomach was not right. and maybe a little TMI but when I go on these days I go A LOT. like ALOT ALOT. (also worth noting, I am not straining to go to the bathroom, I don't feel constipated at all when I go) My sister is a nurse and she suggested I take the Miralax prescribed by my doctor until I am going everyday regularly. I started doing that and have been going -pain free- everyday for the past few days, however today when I went I had the same issue. I sometimes even get sweaty and feel like what some describe as "dumping syndrome" is happening to me, even if I haven't eaten anything bad or anything at all. Sorry if this is long winded, but I was just wondering if anyone else gets bad stomach aches before they "go" ?

My body definitely gives me different cues now than it did before. I definitely feel a bowel discomfort that I didn't before and I'm weird so I always think, do people with normal BMI's always feel this way?

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
