I was never told to use laxatives. I was prescribed stool softeners and told to add benefiber. This is all i need. Since starting solids, i havent had a problem and have basically stopped the benefiber and no longer use the stool softener.

I am 5 weeks and have the same feeling in my right side. Update us on what your doc says!

im throwing it out there... i have diarrhea only once after surgery. you may also be highly sensitive to sucrolose(splenda) though. its give diarrhea and bloating to lots of people! not sure if you are ingesting this, but just a thought! (most Protein powders contain this) if not, i hope it clears soon! sorry =(

THANK YOU!!!

just humor yourself and get rid of the surcorlose and see if it helps! if it does, then its the surcrolose! for serious! the symptoms are the same!

thank you so much everyone!!! its such a great feeling! next i want to get rid of my heel pain! its slowed down a lot, but isnt completely gone yet. in due time!

Had two days of serious dizziness so i made an appointment to see my doc and he agrees....I was having dizziness from my blood pressure meds so i am officially off of them! yay!!!! my first thing on my list to get rid of as a result of surgery is gone! so happy!

Be aware that you can also have adverse reactions to sucrolose(splenda) that sounds JUST like that! For his very reason i cannot have ANY thing with this sugar substitute. Makes me soooo ill. It is in most protein shakes and supplements. This could be your problem!

Yes, i notice it hurts when i eat too. I saw my surgeon and she thinks its just the food. When i slowed down on my food it started to go away. When i get more full i feel it. Try slowing down and lowering the amounts of food you in take at a time spreading them out more frequently. That has helped me a ton. Our nerves are all connected causing shoulder. that is the explanation i got.

thanks!

i was 2 weeks out when i started to eat cheese. it melts in your mouth and soups easy

im three weeks out and i crave salad and fresh fruits sooo bad!!!!!! i just want to munch on tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce but i cant! i cant wait will i can!

i have a HUGE problem with splenda. i also have issues with truvia. but NOt stevia. truvia has sugar alcohol but stevia does not so truvia makes me sick but not as much as splenda. i get the same symptoms as you do on splenda but i also get chills and sweats and vomitting. splenda is the devil to me! haha. i like aspartame and saccarin

haha! i am most def not preggo! =) thanks everyone. i dont know why im craving it, but i will try and back off for awhile. or at least not have as much.
