As far as your TMI question, it was a full WEEK for me. I started drinking Miralax at day 5 and had to do that for a couple of days. Just a warning, this issue can continue longer than immediately post-op. I've never had a problem with this at all but I'm 3.5 weeks post-op and I've had to take Miralax seeeeeveral times.

ALL of this so my current program lol is to take miralax every other day, and a dose of benefiber every day. This is helping and I am going with out so much pain and problem still have the suppositories on hand for when it gets too difficult but have not had to use them for a full week so progress for sure! good luck!

If you are having problems going, get some no sugar added Apple juice, mix it 50/50 with about 3 ounces of Water and drink it. If I do that once a day, it is magic and a lot less harsh on your body than the other stuff. It’s at least worth a try!

Just got sleeved yesterday. I feel awesome. It is much better than I anticipated. Anyone having any doubts or fears...it is natural but don't be. I did not have any pain walking up...outside of lots of gas...the first thing I did when I wake up was a huge belch! I thought I was dreaming but when I asked my nurse...he confirmed it.
I am so glad that all my fears did nj it come to fruition.

I had a really bad experience pre-op so made sure I was covered for post! i use Lax-a-day every day since about day 3 as well as the docusate..so both. This had kept things "flowing" quite well. 😊

No, it hasn't caused any issues. It's my favorite thing to take for these issues because it's flavorless and not harsh at all. No painful cramping or bloating or anything.

That is exactly what I was hoping for [emoji4]

I felt really good in the hospital day after as well and honestly not too bad after. For me it's been getting the food and fluids and supplements in..not easy and the stomach is so small and one has to be so careful!

It’s the night before surgery, can’t get to sleep. I’m a mix of nervous and excited. Hopefully goes ok.

How exciting! Good luck! I'll be thinking of you. When you feel up to it, let us know how you're feeling. [emoji106]

Do you take a normal amount? Like what the bottle recommends?

Hello

I had gastric sleeve November 20th and I am 9 days post op and so thankfully. The process was completely worth it. I am currently on the full liquid diet and really want to drink something besides Protein shakes- its difficult for me to get them down. I really want Tomato Soup or cream of mushroom Soup.

I am allowed to have cream Soups as long as I strain them!

I've been seeing that a lot of people were able to do the same. I am going to check with my surgeon tomorrow. Hopefully I can. Today is the first day I think I've felt "hungry" but I also have been doing a terrible job with my liquids and only had a half of a Protein Shake .. so maybe that's it as well.

The Soup has saved my life. Such a good change from those sweet Protein Shakes.< br>
