horrible constipation!



Recommended Posts

Okay, so fair warning, this will be a bit graphic. I have been having very small, hard stool about every 3 days since I left the hospital. I thought nothing of it since I haven't been eating much. Well now I'm impacted. As in I seriously have a large amount of stool that is dry and stuck in my rectum. I have tried to dig it out with lube, have done an enema, took stool softners and Miralax. It is the most painful thing I've ever experienced. Please someone give me some advice. What do I do? I'm at the point on the toilet that I'm almost passing out. Break out in a sweat, chille, shaking, lightheadedness, and the pain...oh god.

Go to urgent care and they will loosen the impaction so that you can allow it all to pass. Its embarrasing but they do it quickly and you'll feel so much better.

The best thing that you can do is go to the ER. The nurses there will be able to disimpact you. Good luck. Moving forward, you may want to add a stool softener to your medication regime.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
