Smoothe Move Tea For Constipation?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried the smoothe move tea post op for Constipation? I used it before many times but am concerned about irritating my sleeve. I'm 3 weeks post op and still on liquids. The tea is caffeine free herbal stuff.

Thanks!

I was wondering about this too, I bought some yesterday and tried it today, my tummy feels fine, but the box says it takes 6 hours to work, so, we shall see :)

where do you buy this at? Is it something that you drink everyday or is it only when you're constipated?

I got mine from Meijer's and it says for occasional Constipation. I sure hope it works. I'm having a hard time getting in extra veggies.

I got a good price for it off Amazon.com. it is pretty potent stuff so I would just use it as needed.

I used Smooth Move tea prior to surgery and it upset my stomach but all laxatives do so I don't take them. I drink Water like it's going out of style instead.

It's made with natural senna tea, a stimulant laxative vs. osmotic. It's ok on occasion but I found my sleeve and my system prefers osmotic which just helps get more Water into your stool. Stimulant can become addictive for some and not good for long term, cause painful cramping. I prefer stool softeners, magnesium citrate, lots of Vitamin C and if desperate Fleet enema always does the trick.

I had a lot of problems with Constipation. I could never find the Smooth Move tea, but I tried Miralax and several other things. When it was so bad I was nauseous I tried a stool softener with laxative. It took the whole 12 hours to work but it was the best feeling ever LOL! I took it a few times as needed but now I drink diet cran-grape (Oceanspray, 5 cals) every day and it seems to be working.

      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!
