after surgery side effects

[TToyama 0]

I had my surgery on 3/9/09 and, at first, I had diarhea, but now I am so constipated! My doctor requires 2 weeks of full liquids (protein shakes, broth, cream Soups, etc.). Yesterday, I tried some prune juice - no help. Any suggestions?

Ask your doctor if you can take a stool softener like Colace. It's not a laxative so you won't have the crampy watery stools but it will soften things up and make it a lot easier to pass.

I am rthree days post band and I have horrible gas feeling in my chest. It is hard if not impossible to get the fluids into me. I vomit up thick frothy white stuff. HELP

HI. I had my surgery on March 11 and had the same horrible pain in my left shoulder and across my chest. I was told it was from the anesthesia and would eventually work it's way out. It has. Walking helped and puting my feet above my heart helped. I too had trouble going, I purchased some tea for the digestive tract and it worked like a charm. Best of luck to you!!

call your doctor! You shouldn't be vomiting.
