If it's bright red it's not a worry. Be sure and take a stool softener or something. That's hard on you to get constipated enough to bleed. You may have some intense itching in the next day or two while the hemmroid or tear heals... Witch hazel helps a lot.

Yes, very common after pain meds is constipation...if it is bright red, usually nothing to worry about, need a stool softener, but obviously I'm not a doc! If its a dark red, that could mean internal and call your doc right away.

Today is one week for me today! I havent had a BM yet and dont feel contispated at all. Should I? Almost had to go to ER second day home becasue I could only drink 4 oz of Water and was getting dehydrated. But it feels so good not to be hungry. My son had a pizza on Saturday and I kept thinking damn I want a piece but then thought why your not hungry, That passed quickly and I was fine. I'm sure i'll have many more days like that.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
