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.

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.

      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.
