Most doctors recommend Miralax! Right after surgery is the best time to start it always happens! Pain meds will do it!

Please ask your doctor before starting something this early on your journey. My experience was very different. Liquids in liquids out.

liquids in liquids out only on the liquid phase. Makes sense doesn't it, but you can still get constipated!

My doctor said to use milk of magnesia. I asked them on week 3 if I could use a pill instead and love dulcolax now!

I had the liquid poops the whole time.... Make sure you are hydrated. I had it until I couldn't take it and I took Imodium about 4 days before surgery and it worked like a charm.

      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'. ???

        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!
