I was shopping for items I would need post-op and picked some up with my other items. I so thankful for people posting what has been helpful for them.

The Smooth Move tea definitely works. Too bad they all taste like licorice. My favorite however was the chocolate. I put it in hot chocolate to help disguise the flavor.

Does Smooth Move tea help like a stool softener would? Going #2 has been painful of late and I hate taking stool softener.

I've been backed up while on my pre-op liquid diet. I tried a softener and magnesium tablets (my usual help) with no response, then the Smooth Move tea 2 nights in a row with no help either. Finally had to resort to magnesium citrate. Now I'm having the SM daily to try and prevent it again.

@@Margie122 it is a natural laxative. It definitely loosens up everything. I will probably drink it a few nights a week for preventative measures. I'm 2.5 weeks post op and #2 has been a struggle for me as well.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
