When I was an avid runner, I used to take 2 short breaths in my nose and a long one out of my mouth when running. My lungs seemed to feel more oxygenated that way. I was running a 7 min mile. If I was over exerting myself, the breathing technique didn't always work, and I would end up throwing up. Putting my hands on my head and standing straight as possible while breathing in the nose and out of the mouth would help with that. Whatever you do, DO NOT BEND OVER AT THE WAIST when you feel you have to throw up because you most definitely will!! Good luck!! Lol. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Milk of magnesia doesn't make my stomach hurt; it just turns the waste to a liquid and I definitely know when it's time to go, but I don't get queasy or anything. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I know you got your issue cleared up, but for future reference and anyone looking for tips: This is pretty gross, but put some gloves on, if you must. 1) stick your thumb IN your vagina to where the pad of your thumb is facing toward the back wall. 2) press back on the wall closest to your 'poopy shoot' (should be able to feel the stool that is stuck). 3) Push downward and manually move it down toward the exit. 4) Once it's close enough to the exit, bear down while still using your thumb to guide it. I've had some bad issues with constipation since I was young because of my love for cheese, and this has always worked for me. Also, another trick: buy the Preparation H suppositories. Place one in there every once in a while. They are kind of oily and help with lubricating the area just enough to help push things through. Other lubes work okay, too, like Vaseline and KY. It keeps the sphincter from tearing, as well. Wipe off the access lube so your butt crack doesn't end up feeling like a slippery slide or that slide from 'Cool Runnings'.
