I drank it at about 8pm and in the morning I went just like normal. It must be super gentle. I was really impressed.

I would recommend some Miralax or stool softeners. I was happy on day 10 when I went, but a week later the second time was NOT fun! Since them miralax has worked well, but I wish I had started earlier.

I take 2 stool softeners a day, and it usually works.. not this time! Tomorrow night, the tea is coming out!

Thank you for the info!

Haha this was me yesterday! I never would have thought that would be exciting to me, but....

Glad the tea worked!

Where can i get this tea? I am 7 days post op and have yet to have a bowel movement. I started taking a stool softener yesterday, and I'm kinda feeling the pressure that i may have to go, but nothing yet.

I saw it at Walmart so probably anywhere. With the herbal tea.

I was the same, from major Constipation to the absolute total opposite. I still get random spells of both. Hang in there! It seems to have lessened for me. I’m 5 months out.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
