Hi everyone,

I was sleeved December 20th and have had unbelievable results. I'm doing things with my life i thought were no longer possible for me. i am not complaining by any means, just need some help with this stool problem. I think because of all the Vitamin intake my stools are rock solid and it hurts to go to the bathroom. i've tried stool softener, Fiber supplements, but to no avail. does anyone have a suggestion i now have hemorrhoids and it really hurts and sometimes bleeds when i go to the bathroom.

Thanks

I had the same problem and the only thing that helped was to really up my water intake. Now I'm much more regular and pain free. A little miralax in my protein smoothies everyday helps too! Good luck, it's a crappy situation!

Yup, Water is the only real long term solution to your problem...not always easy to get the total allowance in but think each time your "leaving it til later" how it hurts emptying your bowel and you'll be slugging that water down faster than a speeding bullet!!

hope you get some relief soon ....

Plenty of water and Miralax do the trick. Miralax is one of the few laxatives - stool softeners that you can safely use daily.

Miralax is the answer!! Amazing product, you can take it every day.

Miralax daily, 2 stool softeners every other day, and as much Water as you can get in!

Special K makes this protein/fiber pink lemonade powder...delicious - 30 calories but helps with Protein, fiber, & water intake!!

Good Luck - find the combination that works for you and you'll be free and clear!

Miralax works great. I take it every couple of days. This keeps things very soft.
