Constipation



Recommended Posts

TMI for Sure. But i need some advice from my fellow sleevers. I was sleeved April 2012. I have had bouts of Constipation here and there. But. Nothing like what I am dealing with now. I have been taking Miralax for about a week now and have been able to go some. Yesterday I did an enema and within 30 seconds I had to go& it was all watery. I did another enemy today. Went right away again and watery as well. I am so bloated & my abdomen hurts. I'm so nauseous & I feel like there is more to come out. But. Nothing Else is coming out. Any suggestions?? Is this common? Do I call my doctor?

Yes. We are but virtual friends in a virtual world. If it's a medical issue, and "abdomen hurts - nauseous" is, call your actual doctor!!

So you were in the hospital for a full week due to constipation? I had my surgery 10 months ago. I don't know why just now this has become an issue. I did 2 suppositories yesterday and then 3 colace before bed. I have gone a couple times today. But not much at all. I hate going to the doctor. I'm sure it's just because my Fiber intake was low for a few weeks. I'm eating more Fiber now. And have been all week.

The crazy thing is for the last few days I have been so hungry & can eat alot more than usual. It's like I'm not getting full. We're you like that when you were constipated? Normally when I have been constipated in the past I can't eat because of the constipation. But. This time is totally different. Any thoughts??

      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.

      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!
