Just hitting 2 weeks post, constipation has set in and had some blood in stool I talked with my surgeon he said start to introduce stool softners only and try to increase more water anyone else run into this any other suggestions, tips or tricks ?? Just feel miserable right now

Yes,I was told also not to put anything on the incisions but I told to take benadryl which It did help

Absolutely, All I been tolerating for fluids is water,protien drinks and some V8 juice, I tried greek yogurt and cottage cheese so far so good remember it will get easier but also trying to take all the meds my doctor put me on has been a struggle also

I just had mine on Wednesday 6/19 and had a similar experience on Saturday all day, I've been able to tolerate more fluids and protien shakes since then hope your feeling better in the days to come

I'm day 3 post op ,The procedure went good no issues as of yet. Honestly the first 48 hours were the worst for discomfort and pain ,Today Iam up and moving around more and been sitting upright all day and really beginning to take more fluids in today still get stomach cramps periodically especially if I try to push fluids to quick, I've been able to tolerate water,protien drinks and tomatoe juice. not to give to much (TMI) but definitely have issues with diarrhea started this morning but overall feeling pretty good

I'm scheduled for gastric bypass this Wednesday the 19th so the liver shrink diet has been tough for me alot of fatigue and dizziness, and start 48 hr all liquid tomorrow morning. Never been this weak before but I look forward to this as part for reclaiming my overall health and wellness!
