Okay its day 3 of my 14 day liquid diet super anxious and excited anybody getting there's around the same time...

Sooooo.....anyone else like me who hasn't managed to poop in 5 days? I've been adding fibre to everything and eating pureed pear' date=' working on the water, walking regularly and NOTHING. I know it's going to hit me at some point [/quote']

Same problem here. I'm adding Miralax today to see if hat helps. I'm very afraid of the constipation horror stories I've heard.

Also, I can't seem to sleep for an entire night. I'm not in pain but wake up at like 3am....anyone having that problem?

I was doing some strange hours in the hospital, but at home I'm out - that's it. Dead.

So glad the dent is a common thing. I hadn't read much about it pre op so I was freaking out over it. Mine is starting to feel a little less tender to the touch. I took a nice hot shower last night (thank you shower seat! Lol) and it felt a lot less tender after.

I haven't pooped either how long is too long to not go? I'm a little worried about that. And I've been so tired I really haven't been up enough to concentrate on getting my water and all my protein in. I'm so scared of this! I have only had a few ounces today. Gotta get better at this!

I keep seeing everyone post about not having bowel movements. I have been having the opposite. Diarrhea all day off and on. It's beyond annoying anyone else with this?

One good thing is I weighed myself this AM and lost 13.8lbs since Wednesday . Woohoo!!

Tmi- last night I was worried about no poop since the day before surgery (six days). I don't like introducing more chemicals into my body so I did a warm water enema. Not fleet but plain warm water through an enema bag. Works immediately. Doesn't dehydrate you at all. It hydrates and enlarges your colon a little to let things flow easier.

I was farting up a storm before hand so I know my bowels were working just fine.

But I feel oh so much better this morning with a more squishy belly.

Everything is just haywire until it all figures out how to work with its smaller counterpart. We'll get there.

Is anyone finding it hard to get all your liquids in? I am trying so hard to sip but it is become a challenge. My throat is still sore from the tube.

I'm making a real effort to get in 1L (32oz) of water . I'm finding myself quite tired and weak and know it will be worse if I don't get at least that amount. And from today aiming for 2 protein shakes......yuck. But I am lucky that I had no soreness from the tube.

Think I'll do a trip to the chemist to find some type of enema.

I am down 13lbs already. Is everyone else seeing this type of loss?

Yeah, but you might keep losing and I could hit a looong stall..... It could all even out in the end

It's definitely been rough I'm still not getting enough and I'm so worried about dehydration.
