It's me again, lol. This has really been a journey as Ianm battling one thing after another.

I've been on the 2week pre op liquid diet, drinking 6 premeir shakes, eating sugarfree Jello and sugarfree popcycles.

I was doing beef broth from cubes but was told by my doc to stop. Too much salt.

It's confusing, because I have been researching like crazy and I are sites that say you actually need salt, but how much?

I have been severely constipated to where it almost comes out but goes back in, I know gross....

I had 1 bowel movement but it to everything out of me to push, sweating, shaking, crying.

I keep trying and trying to go, up all night trying, all day, homebound.

My surgery is coming up soon, in a week. I have take 2 stool softners last night, and 2 Fiber pills. Today I took liquid magnesium citrate dulox suppository and finally when i took the fleet suppository, I had a little luck. Kind of watery stool, but not much came out as expected.

I've been drinking lots of Water and one doctor told me that after a while, it doesn't matter on the amount of water...

I've tried so many things, and not getting much success.

Any information you could give me would sure be appreciated

I'm starting to wonder if this surgery is ever going to happen...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
