Tomorrow is the big day and I am terrified. I am getting the surgery for unconventional reasons, so I’m very high risk. But all of you and your posts have been so comforting these last few month, so thank you!

Hi all, i’m 13 days post op ( really excited to have soft foods starting tomorrow). Is anyone else sick of the diet drinks. They all taste the exact to me, super sweet. I’m thinking I should’ve just got the regular one and watered it down. Also TW* (poop) how are you all making yourself poop. My Constipation is at an all time high and I just wish everything could go back to normal.

My dr said if it’s more than 3 days then to do a triple dose of milk of magnesium and stay home, it should work within an hour. My surgery was on the 10th but luckily only had a week on liquids..

Hey everyone I had my sleeve surgery on 01/17. I am 6 days post op and almost down 20lbs. I am healing pretty good and I found that Premier shakes in cookie dough is my favorite lol. Hope everyone is doing well.

Constipation has ruined 2 days or my recovery. Never experienced anything like it. Yesterday I had to use 2 sachets of Laxido to get things moving. It worked but ouch. To prevent this dictate of affairs happening again I’m going to try green smoothies and adding some fybogel to my regime. Looking forward to reintroducing vegetables to my diet.

I had similar issues with Constipation. I ended up having to drink a tablespoon of olive oil 2-3x a day until things got back to normal.

Thanks! How is everyone doing that had the surgery. I’m still in the hospital, day 4. I don’t have pain and I’m feeling mostly good, just soooo much nausea that I am not able to drink much at all so they want to keep me. Any suggestions? Do I force it in to just get over it, or do I just let my body heal. I’m worried about my kids at home and was hoping I would be back with them already.
