I had my sleeve done in December last year and have had excellent weight loss progress so far, but one thing that hasn't changed for me since my pre-op diet was that it hurts so incredibly bad to poop. I haven't been able to poop sitting down at all since I started the pre-op diet, I was told to try a laxative back in December and the only thing that did was end up hurting me more because it didn't make the pain go away, it just made my body want to poop even more than it did before, but the pain was all the same, making me not want to go through with the process. Now It's been a while but the problem still stands, what usually ends up happening for me is that I have to stand in the shower and squeeze it out little by little but the pain is still the same and it makes me dread the days until my body tells me it is time to do it all over again. I've read a couple of threads of post-op and haven't found anyone with this problem, in fact everything I have read so far shows me that nobody is having my same problem. I'm afraid to try laxatives again because of that first time mentioned above, I don't want to go through that agony again. Has anyone else had bathroom problems since their surgery? And if so how have you resolved the problem?
