March 14, 201313 yr Remember, what goes in, must come out. Your whole digestive system has just dramatically changed. Did you really have the expectation that wasn't going to be altered for awhile? 6 days out ... start taking Milk of Magnesia. Every day. Don't stop once things start moving. Continue for a week. The fun aint over yet ...
March 14, 201313 yr Im doing milk of magnesia and it works great. I thought that first trip to the bathroom was going to be like giving birth but it went smoothly.
March 14, 201313 yr normal poop again??? Amanda626 sure, you'll eventually have a normal "dump" again you will have to be on solids for a while then if all goes well - you'll be back to your normal self referring to bathroom "situations" is a common question/problem amongst NEWBIES things do take time to settle after major surgery - but you'll eventually be ok As PdxMan corerctly said, The fun aint over yet ... take care continued good luck

March 14, 201313 yr A rubber glove and some lube....... Yesterday that seemed like a viable option. Just sayin...
March 15, 201313 yr Pd!! That stuff is disgusting !! Is there alternatives??? I had the gastric balloon before I was sleeved. I went through such a BAD episode of constipation that I happily drink the milk of magnesia. Do NOT get to that point. Just bite the bullet!
