Hi Everyone, My name is Debra and I live in Australia. I have just turned 47 and had my VSG on the 20th April. I feel mostly great and I am 5 days into the puree stage of my diet regime. Prior to that I was fluid only and have been consuming 2 doses of benefibre in prune juice since I came outta hospital. Well, I have just now had my first motion in 8 days and it was sheer agony. I don't want to start on laxatives that will weaken my bowel and make it lazy, but nor do I want to experience this until I am on solid food and eating fruit and veg again. It is very uncomfortable after day 2, ( i am used to going every day) and excrutiatingly painful. I actually had to self administer an enema tonight!!! Lucky I am a nurse!!! So, I drink as much fluid as my body will allow, still have 2 doses of benefibre and prune juice each day and still have this problem. I still have 9 days of puree left, 2 wks of soft and then onto full diet. HELP!!! Any hints for me???
