  7. Haven’t been able to talk to my surgeon... he’s been busy..... Just wondering if it was possible that I could be able to take Senokot S day after surgery?

  18. Thank you all for replying! Where can I find this smooth move tea? Sounds better than constantly taking stool softeners. You can take magnesium gel tabs after having the surgery?

  21. Thank you both for commenting. I am gonna talk to my surgeon asap. I was just stressed out and worried. You both helped me calm down a little with telling me that I can take a softener right after surgery! Thanks again!!

  23. Hello Everyone, My surgery date is Nov 13, I worked so hard to obtain this date. I am afraid I may back out of surgery. We are going to get real personal here lol. I suffer from hemorrhoids and an occasional anal fissure that tears about once a month. So basically I have a hard time passing regular stools. I keep seeing people talk about constipation after surgery. I can’t handle that, not at all. I take stool softeners daily in a pill. Most days it hurts passing soft stools. My doctor told me I can start my liquid diet early to help lose some extra weight. I did. I also got extremely constipated. Literally had to go to the ER for help. If this is how it’s gonna be after surgery I don’t know if I can do it. Let’s say One day after surgery could I actually crush my stool softeners to help me? I just want to break down and cry. Sorry for whining here but man my life depends on this surgery and I can’t handle knowing that I might have to go through what I just went through.. Thank you for taking your time to read this. Casey.
  24. I have my surgery date, it’s Nov 13. I hope I have the same results as you!
  25. Russ Sir, outstanding! Way to go man!
  26. Oh boy sounds like fun [emoji52]
  27. Forgot to ask my question, how was your pain level after surgery?
  28. Oh man, I just got the call that my insurance has approved my surgery!!! Woot woot. I haven’t been nervous at all until now.
  29. Is it really hard to just keep sipping lol my NUT told me that I have to sip water and protein shakes all day. I work in refineries there is no way I can sip all day like that. I mean 75% time I'm welding and they require a half face respirator to be worn if you're welding or working near someone welding. So basically I'm always wearing one.
