Felling down

[Tfitz40 5]

I have not lost any weight. I am 1 week out of surgery. I am constipated been drinking Water, walking and use suppository and nothing. I'm really getting worried.

Stop!!! You retain Fluid from surgery and inflammation while healing, just be patient on the weight loss - you will get a whoosh of pounds falling off in a few days.

Constipation - take a stool softener, drink more, walk more, maybe a suppository. (Anesthetic affects the bowels, they go to sleep too.) Keep taking these on a regular basis. Most of us have struggled with this in the early stages and need some assistance to get regular.

I tried all sorts when I was constipated after surgery and the only thing that worked for me was Dulcolax. Poo can weight quite a bit too, so you might find that when you do manage to go, you could be a couple of pounds lighter than now. I really do hope you feel better soon but if you don't it might be best to contact your team and ask their advice.

Congratulations on the surgery and speedy recovery!

I didn't weigh myself until my 3rd week post surgery just to avoid this very problem. You will be losing it, just keep going and next week your scales will make you happier I bet

Try milk of magnesia for now. Ppl have good luck with that. I would add Miralax to 1 liquid a day here on out if allowed. It mixes up clear in a drink.
