I started out taking Miralax daily. Then my surgeon recommended this instead: Vitamin Shoppe

This really works! I only use a teaspoon at night. At that rate this container will last me around 6 months. You just mix a teaspoon or two of it with a small amount of Water. It fizzes so I stir it up let it sit 20 minutes and then stir some more. That makes all the fizz go away and then I drink it.

It tastes good also:) Just thought I'd share. It's just magnesium which is something our bodies need anyway.

It took me 7 days post-op and a call to my surgeon. He recommended a stool softener and Philips Milk of Magnesia, it worked like a charm, and now if I feel like I am getting bound up all I need is a stool softener.

I am always looking for something to take to help with Constipation. I will have to see if I can find those items here in Korea. It is a little harder to get many qestern products so I always try more natural ways like certain foods in my diet etc.

i know this is a common problem for many bandsters :S

Stuck Grrrrrr!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
