Yipes. Try to stick to 10g of carbs or less for anything - drinks included!

Well Mousecat, I know I tease you sometimes about your " where do it go ?" bowels. but it's in love cause I am still fighting the wars too.
Yesterday I suddenly realized nothing was happening #2wise. Felt like I had a tennis ball stuck, went and strained and strained, finally a ping pong-ball. Well Wel I I says to me, it's MoM time, uncle Miralax might have kept things soft behind but like Mick Jagger, " I can't get no satisfaction", the amount I took usually puts me into Don't Trust A Fart- hood, drank down extra liquids, NADA! There she sat, no Fleet Enema on the premises, so this morning I put my little non-latex gloves on, upplied some Vaseline and the tennis ball finally popped free and. behind it, sift and squishy once I released the plug. So you can't find yours, mine 💖me So Much it doesn't want to leave. I have a surgeon appointment tomorrow, didn't want to go to Columbus with a Heavy Tushie💩so let's hope I AM ALL BETTER!

I don’t think the vomiting is a good thing. Call your doctor or nurse contact. My dietician told me to drink this smooth tea at night. I bought it. Disgusting but if you like tea it’s good.

After surgery I didn’t have a bowel movement for eight days. I was passing gas. I went and bought some glycerin suppositories and used one of those and it resolved the problem. Since then I go every other day. I think it’s different for everyone but after being on a liquid diet pre-surgery and after I think it’s reasonable to not go.

Anyone have very dark “sticky” poops? I believe it’s because of the Iron pills I’m taking. Does it go away? Should I cut down on the iron supplements? Constantly feel constipated, I have a couple of squirts a day. Thanks for any words of wisdom!

Yes I also take Miralax twice a day, or I am supposed to. A couple times I only did one and I started getting the #2 roadblocks once again. And you know. what that can be!

Okay guys - update on this. lol. I am still unable to go to the bathroom. I take Colace 3 times a day. I was also taking Miralax but since the addition of it also didn't help and just upset my stomach the doctor said to just stop. The ONLY THING that makes me go is senna tea. If I don't drink my tea, I will not go... for weeks. Almost 3 weeks is my record, and then when I went it was a small amount. Yes, I've tried suppositories to no effect.

When I drink the senna, I get explosive, pure liquid poos. It happens about 3 times and then I'm back to not going. The doctor said to go ahead and drink the tea every 3 days, but it is really difficult to manage at work, as you can imagine. Sometimes it just... comes out. So I do it once a week when I know I can manage the bathroom trips and accidents if there is one. I'm trying to figure out a way to have it twice a week. I was told never to take Fiber because I had a hernia and the bulking effect can cause an obstruction where the new stitching is.

I am really scared this is my new normal. Am I overreacting? Be honest. lol. I eat all foods now... salads, meats, some fruit..... it's not all purees and dairy anymore, lol. Still no improvement. The nurse said it *should* improve at 6 months post-op. I am 3 months. So maybe I AM overreacting. But it's disturbing to be reliant on this tea, and the effects of the tea itself. And also that even though I eat nothing happens. I DO NOT have gas or cramping or any sensation of Constipation ever.

Ammmggg the senna tea didn't work! I have really bad cramps, though. Halp! I am on Day 13 with only 1 micropoop. This won't stop happening! Taking Colace and Miralax, and have had the senna tea twice in 5 days.

      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.
