After the initial recovery time and feeling confident in my ability to stay hydrated, I thought I was in a position to really enjoy the weight loss and my new life. I recently had a bout of constipation. I took some mild pill laxatives and it helped. But during and since then I have been feeling pain again similar to that I felt right after the surgery. I think it feels similar to the inflammation we experience. Can constipation cause this? Is what I'm feeling inflammation? It feels the same as when I was first in to recovery.

It has me a bit worried. Maybe I should go back on liquids for a few days. Any insight would be so appreciated.

I would call your Dr and run it past them.
