Ok this is TMI but I feel so gross that maybe some one here will understand. I am on vacation right now so I haven't been drinking Water as consistently and I left my Fiber pills at home. Well I hadn't gone in three days and I felt like Rocks were sitting in my stomach. Boy was I right. I just had the most painful BM and there was lots of bleeding. It was so much backed up and so hard I can't keep going like this. I don't want to get hemorrhoids . Before surgery I was very regular and now it's a pain in my ass' date=' literally.

Ok I will try you suggestions. Thanks. Sorry for the details.[/quote']

Try something like Colace (stool softener) if you can get to a pharmacy - to help in the short term. Then really try to keep up with your water...

I'm with you Colemon70 - 13 days out. Mirilax. Broke down and bought Fleets Suppositories today. Geesh. I had irritable bowel syndrome before surgery. Now I have sleeping bowel syndrome. I sincerely hope that I do not explode :)

Highly recommend Dulcolax, it's a stool softener you should be able to find while on vacation. I know your pain!!! Good luck!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
