Does anyone take oxycontin for back pain? Wondered if its a oroblem with the band

But since i am somewhat anonymous here i guess i can say.i am so constipated i dont know what to do. Ive followed this post op liquid diet to a tee and i am miserable. M.O.M is not cutting it. Stool softener not helping. I have a dr appt in city tomorrow fir unrelated prob. Help

I have 5 more days of protein shakes only and i sm starting to feel nauseated everytime i drink one. I just cant stand them anymore. Anyone else having same problem. Banded 10/10

Thank you so much. These shakes are killing me !lol

Can you all just give me the name of the protein shake you are using and if you like it Please. I am using the EAS Advantage shakes and Muscle Milk Light. Both of these are on my accepted list. I cant stand the thought of another week let alone day drinking these. They r awful! Help

Ok im still on liquids until monday but good grief did my life really revolve around food like this? All they do is eat and plan on eating and the smells coming up from the kitchen to my room where i can escape. Ughh. This is hard. I dont want to live my life around food anymore !

Oops lost you somehow. I live in Northern NJ. About an hour and a half from NYC. I was banded on 10/10. Still in liquid phase until Monday when i can start "mushies". Its been a little tough. But i see the light at the end of the tunnel! How about you. Where are you at in this journey?

Banded 10/10. Still on liquids but hopefully mushies next Monday. My granddaughters 1st birthday party next Wed. What can i have and still stay on plan. My dr is strict. No sugar or anything white and low fat too. To make it harder party is at my house! Dinner and cake. Help!

Im so not into cooking for my family right now. Im still on liquids for almost 2 more weeks. They were understanding in the beginning. But not so much any more. I feel like really you grown people cant handle this right now? Is it me? I do want to know. Youngest us 17 up to 28

Thanks everyone. I felt bad last night at my support group when i shared my emotions were so shaky and someone said. "Well i was so ready that didnt happen to me." I thought to myself i was ready too. Ive had 4 back surgeries and never felt like this. Thankful for this site!! I
