Angelatui

Ok, this is going to sound gross but I’ve been on my liquid diet almost 2 weeks now and I’m having major Constipation right now. I have taken stool softeners and did an enema. When i go to push, the hard piece is stuck and liquid just comes out around it. So nasty I know! I’ve even resorted to digging pieces out myself and still nothing. Now I’m in pain and crying. I can’t pee because the pain of pushing hurts my butt. Does anyone have a recommendation or should I just call the doctor?

We have all had those thoughts I think. I know I did. The realization for me was that it wasn’t the issue of losing weight, but the issue of keeping it off. I need the long term, lifelong help to maintain. I’m tired of losing the same weight over and over.
I’m now 9 days post op and I won’t lie, the first week at home was a little rough but if you keep a good support system around you, it’s completely doable.

Do yourself a favor and don’t watch any more YouTube videos. Those journeys are not yours.

The only pain I’ve had was the gas pain. Walking and gasX helped take care of that.

Of course in the end it’s your choice so if you feel you can do this by diet and exercise alone, then rock that decision. But please don’t let fear determine your future.

Got my date for May 1st. I’m super nervous and freaking out mostly because I’ve never had surgery before and I watched some post op YouTube vlogs last night and their pain is freaking me out! I like to think that I have a higher pain tolerance but again I’ve never had surgery so maybe it’s a different kind of pain idk...So now that the date is nearing I’m thinking is it for me? Can I do it on my own since I’ve lost 30lbs these last couple months? Anyone else having these thoughts?
