Constipation?



Recommended Posts

Is anyone else experiencing bad Constipation? Also, sometimes my stools are very light in color almost white. I am on vacation in the caribbean right now, can not wait to get back to the states so I can call my DR. I'm concerned.....

How far out are you? Constipation is really normal for the process though. I've not seen stools almost white though, it all depends on what you're eating.

I have to take Exlax multiple days in a row to get any response at all. To some degree, most of us have a problem with this, though how we intervene is different.

Maybe try to get a Fleets enema?

I just read on another post on here that someone said that adding 500-800mg of Magnesium plus 2 Fiber gummies really helps with that. They said that they were finally regular and able to stop the Miralax.

Ask doc to check for blocked bike duct. Dr oz had special on poop coloring problems.

      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!
