Ok I am embarrassed to asked this but I must cause I hate calling my doctor all this time. So prior to my sleeve 2/8 (post op week 3) yay! I had suffered from constipation. I would take these herbal pill and I would go, problem solved. But now my doctor recommeded I take Metamucil (which I have been everyday) and guess what I am still constipated. I can feel it and I hate it. Does anyone else have this problem? If so any recommendations?

Sorry hit the button to soon. 6 days post op and no movement. For someone who was always regular, 5 days (even if not much is in there) feels very uncomfortable.

Walking makes the ole bowels move. Sometimes I barely make it home after a two mile walk.

Glycerin suppositories! Holy **** - LITERALLY!

The best... and they work FAST!!

Another thing that works pretty fast- 3 OTC Colace tabs before bed, then 3 more about 12-14 hours later. Make sure you have your calendar cleared for the day. And some diaper rash cream handy. Trust me on this.

I had tried pretty much everything and I still dealing with constipation. Now I am increasing my water to see of that helps but to be honest sometimes even the exercise works lol Yeah the movement here and there,you can try to walk for at least 1 hour and see if that helps
