When did everyone start their vitamins? I will be a week post-op tomorrow and haven't purchased my vitamins yet.

I had surgery monday 9/26. Everything went well. My pain was alot so I stayed in the hospital till Wednesday morning. While in the hospital I had broth, but hardly ate it. Since today is my first day home I've have 2 premier shakes equally 60 grams of protein. I've successfully consumed at least 60 fl oz of fluids today. My scars ache a bit but I've been moving around and plan on going for a walk tomorrow. Gas pains are the absolute worst. I'm on a 2 week liquid diet, can't wait to actually be able to eat food again. Also any good recommendations for belly binders?

Thanks ladies for the suggestions and tips. I booked an appointment for tomorrow morning with my doc, hopeful I can get an enema or something to relieve me of this problem fast.

Thanks, I have tried this from the brand swan. It helped but the complete stool didn't pass. My doc recommended a suppository from Dulcolax. I guess it's working but not good enough. I honestly don't know if I can survive this. I usually can manage pain , but this is a no.

*TMI* WARNING *TMI* I didn't know about the serve constipation. I've been struggling so bad trying to pass this lumpy stool. NOTHING seems to be working, had to leave work early. I'm in sooooo much pain. I'm in the 2nd week of my 2 weeks pre-op liquid diet. Do anyone have any suggestions? I might not survive this.

OMG, me too. 9/26

Good luck to everyone having surgery this week. You've got this!!! Today is/was the first day of pre-op liquid diet. Must complete 2 weeks of this before surgery. I've gotten in over 60 oz. of liquids. Mostly water and Gatorade Zero plus 60 grams of protein from the Premier Shakes today. Am I suppose to be doing the 1-2 oz. sips with this pre-op diet?

Hello, New here. I'm scheduled for September 26th. VSG. I'm anxious, but more so excited. I started this process in March and the time is almost here.
