this is what we use in the hospital and it works - but beware it's a hard thing to swallow

The Bomb -

Milk of Mag, Cascara and Dr. Pepper - all warmed to a temp you can swallow without being burned

A note before you do this -- you mentioned weeks since you pooped -- I would be suspect of a blockage of some type - you should contact your doctor before you try anything else or go to an emergency room to see one. Better safe than sorry when dealing with bowel issues.

I believe you should see the doctor...I would be afraid that could be serious! :(

Try a tea. I went through the same problem and my nutritionist suggested a tea "Smooth Move' It works really good and fast. You can get it at GNC or some WalMarts carry it too.

Try prune juice to get things moving along so to speak and then a daily fiber like Benefiber I had the same problem

I agree with others that you should check that it's not a blockage... if not, my dr recommends drinking 80-100oz of Water per day ( I know it's a lot!)... I also learned from reading these blogs to eat prunes. I dealt with Constipation badly and could only go if I took an exlax. Eating one servings of prunes a day has gotten me to become pretty regular! Hope you feel better soon!!

I agree with everyone to be sure it is not a blockage. I had a similar situation, did take laxatives. I also make sure to drink A LOT of Water. I also make sure to take Fiber pills/gummies daily, as well as a stool softener. This has helped me tremendously and I have not a had a problem since.

Hope you are felling better soon!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
