Hi All, new to the site. I had my bariatric surgery Sep. 21, 2020. So far I’ve lost 45 lbs, give or take the the new one day per week, 5-6 lbs of excruciating BM blockade that has become my life since surgery. My poor husband, I think he has brought home every fiber gummy, BeneFiber, stool softener, MiraLax, etc. that he can find at Walmart or CVS.... Before surgery, I never had BM constipation issues - every morning, like clock work... Post Surgery..., a once a week major headache, literally! Irritability in overdrive, bloating, excruciating back pain and constipation with no relief ... Until, bring on the suppository, followed by a full day of the exact opposite... BM URGENCY and DIARRHEA, UHG! Just like the gobs and gobs of hair shedding from my head daily (good thing my hair is thick and course) my doctor says “this too shall pass.” You just have to experiment with the different OTC products, until you find what works for you.
