Nothing is working! (tmi)



Recommended Posts

Totally normal. I didn't go until I started drinking Protein Shakes, about 5 or 6 days out and even then, it wasn't really "going."

Sorry bur i figure someone had gone through this.. I was sleeved on monday and still have not gone #2..any suggestions? Thanks friends

My surgery was in Monday also, and my first BM was today. I am thinking mine was due to some antibiotics my PCP put me in yesterday for a sinus infection or some caffinated tea that I drunk last nite.

SAME HERE, it was day 5 I think for me. It was bad.. I now take a cap of miralax per day to avoid this.

I have had Constipation issues ever since surgery. I was as regular as clockwork prior. I am 5 months post op and still take a stool softener every other day. My doctor also said to take Milk of Magnesia if I haven't had a BM or 5-6 days. That seems to work 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'. ???

        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!
