I have this problem. I was banded Jan. 30, 2012 and didn't have this problem until recently hitting the green zone. I have been 7 days between bm's. I have tried miralax but it just makes me really gassy and cramp.

If it has been 2 or 3 days I will drink a cup of coffee. Usually within the hour I go. Sometimes before I finish my cup!! Lol.

I just bought the Vita gummies. I will see how that goes.

Milk of magnesia works wonders for me. i have a little pink cup full in the morning when i am filling a bit "off". After i have my morning coffee things seem to be "moving" right along just fine and dandy.

Get your Fluid in! Drink as close to 1 gallon a day as possible. Then use Ex-Lax chocolates.

Guess this is one time in life being lactose intolerant is a good thing. If I need to get things moving, a small cup of milk gets the bowels working!

8 ounces of prune juice every morning does it for me. It's good and good for me.

I have NEVER in my life had a problem with constipation... Until now. I like a lot of these suggestions as three correctol every few days just seems, IDK, like too much.

The same here with milk of magnesium. The Decaf coffee loosens everything up and all is okay.

      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!
