Don't be sorry! That's what we are all here for. Personally my regimen is 1 50 mg Colace and 2 tbls of Miralax per day. Water, water, water. Fresh vegetable juice. Good luck. Constipation is the worst. Makes me feel like not eating or drinking. Hope you feel better soon.

Would anyone happen to know how soon you can do abdominal exercises after surgery? I'm getting flabby!! :-)

I do believe it does. I just drink more water.

Isopure Protien drinks are tasty. A little expensive but good for a change in the menu. "Pure Protien" shakes - Banana Cream, Cookies and Cream, strawberry. They are in cans and the are light.

Hi, I'm getting the same thing and I'm 4 weeks post op. I believe it has something to do with the protein shakes. Hopefully it changes when normal food is reintroduced. :-(

Oh mashed potatoes and baby foods.

Sugar free pudding, sugar free Popsicles, butternut squash Pured soup,

Yes!!!! My doc told me on Friday to take Colace. It has helped the ease but not frequency.

Ask your doctor if you can wear any of the patches. The ones that help you stop smoking or the gum.

4 weeks post op and I can only get 1 can (35 oz) protein and 25 oz of water down a day. Just trying new methods of water. Decaf ice tea with Stevia, sf Popsicles, crystal light. Nothing is appealing but we gotta keep trying.

Hey ladies and gents. I was wondering if anyone has experienced the loud sounds of digestion once your food is swallowed? After I swallow, I can actually hear and feel the food moving down and in to the pouch. At first I thought I was crazy but my son heard it when I was eating pured Soup.

Thank you Panda. I will check with the doc. I see him tomorrow for my 2 week post op apt.

Hi has anyone here struggled with the insomnia issue post-op? I already had insomnia before the suregery.I take Ativan but it does not help a bit now, I take s shorter every night to feel more relaxed. It's terrible going to sleep at 2 a,m and wake up at. 5. Would love to hear your responses, suggestion Thank you

I have been feeling the same way. I read up on it and it it's because we aren't getting seratonin in our diets anymore. My advice is to hang out in the sunshine and know that the initial phases aren't forever. Best wishes! Amy

Try liquids 2 weeks post op, phase 2 is semi liquids for 2 weeks, phase 3 is puréed foods for 2 weeks, phase 5 is working in the solid foods.

What questions have you guys encountered during your psychologist interviews?Thank you ladybug. :-)My doc automatically gives a two week notice to the employer.I'm kinda scared of this pre op liquid diet. I've had to stop taking my hormones already and next is my arthritis medication. Hopefully all these changes don't make me a crazy lady!
