Recommended Posts

I've been trying to make the changes needed to be successful with this surgery even though my surgery date is not until 8/9/11. So anyway... I bought a Magic Bullet which I love and the GNC Gold Standard whey powder in French vanilla. I mix it with a banana, lactose free milk and ice. Totally loving these shakes. I've also tried to increase my Protein in other areas such as eating lean meats and cottage cheese. Now here's my problem.... I HAVEN'T POOPED IN 3 DAYS!!! What in the world is going on here? I know you guys are the experts on this stuff and I need some help. What am I doing wrong? I really want to poop.

Get you some Miralax, this stuff will get you moving. . . wow your doing really great. . . keep up the fabulous work. . and like previous posters have said your lacking Fiber. . . your not doing anything wrong, increase your Water and get some miralax (in the pharmacy dept of walmart)

i also love benefiber and also there is an herbal tea u can get called "smooth move" and that REALLY works fast. i get it at target or the local super market it is in with the herbal teas.

Ditto that that's very little Fiber, but banana is binding (and full of carbs/sugars). Before adding a supplement, I'd nix the banana and try something else in your shakes. There are a lot of recipes on here.

      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.

      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!
