You haven't pooped since your surgery. That is not good at all cause when you go you are going to have a very very hard time going. You don't want to strain yourself AT ALL. I would call your dr at leaste your family dr. After sugery (any surgery that is) you can get very very constipated. I did after I had a c-section. It was a very painfull experience. Your suppose to go to the bathroom before you leave the hospital after any surgery and they never asked me if I did. I didn't think anything of it until I had to go. Good luck

Thank God LBT.com I dont know what I would do without it. I have been having the same problem. The first few days in the hospital were great then I came home, drank some chicken broth and man did it go right threw. Then I thought ok maybe its the strength so I added a little Water, didn't help. When I started drinking my fruit juices, I was sure to add water to them too and it didn't help either. I was banded on 8/5 and I tried a creamy Soup yesterday only to have it worse. All evening long and the first thing this am when my feet hit the floor from waking up. I can't take much more of this. I'm at work now and can't eat.

I was bannded on Monday and I haven't had a bowel movement either. I guess it's because I really haven't been eating that much. Today is the first day I ate 3oz of applesause, the other days I've had a little of the Protein Shakes and a little chicken broth.< /p>

Each dr gives his own directions for eating. However, I don't think tht you should be drinking fruit juices. This is not recommended due to the large number of calories you consume from them. They could seriously hinder your weight loss. Watch out. Water, water, and more water. You may also want to try the Welche's, Crystal Light type powders that you can mix in your water on the go. Keep the faith. If you start telling yourself that you can't, you won't. :thumbup:

Contray to one of the previous reports, it's not always an issue that you don't have an immediate bm. It took me about a week. Part of the reason for this is that it sometimes takes a while for your bowles to start working. Another is that you have not likely eatten enough to cause you to have a bm. If you are concerned contact your Dr., s/he might tell you get a good stool softner.< /p>

      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.
