Laxative and lap band



Recommended Posts

I use laxatives all the time. As a matter of fact, I took two last night. Feeling constipated.

I take one once in a while when nothing else seems to help. I found some very tiny ones at Walmart...they are only like 5ml (?) and sometimes I have to take 2...but they are so very easy to swallow and work within about 8-10 hours.

Still confused. Have never heard a laxative referred to as male or female before. What would a male laxative be and why are there different ones for the different sexes?

It's just the brand I think ....it's very gental ....I don't know about mans lax

Drinking 100% prune juice also helps. I just bought me another bottle. It's best to drink a cup every night before bed. Believe me, in the morn, you will not have a problem going to the restroom. LOL

Can we take woman's laxative ? I feel a little constipated <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

I use Miralax every morning in my coffee. It doesn't have any taste/flavor and works like clock work. Certain meds make you constipated as well as HIGH Protein diets. Some bandsters are plagued by the problem and others don't have any. Do what you need to do for you. Drink lots of fluid! Everyone should.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.ย  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.ย  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? Itโ€™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 Iโ€™m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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.ย 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 โค๏ธย Together, we got this!
