I'm 3 1/2 months out and never in my life been constipated, I'm constipated and very very uncomfortable, laxatives scare me so i took 2 stool softeners and drank a cup of coffee (even though I'm not supposed to). I've been walking as much as i can with the pain I'm in, and barely was able to bring myself to leave the house to get some prune juice and guava juice (I'm hoping to find some no sugar added guava juice that's actually real Guyana) I just can't believe how painful this is

Try fresh pineapple not canned. The enzyme bromelain in it helps break down the Protein we digest.

Just want you to know I comiserate. Miralax is my best friend. I also take SS every day. Although at the moment I am not having the issue, due to my dumping episode this morning. That cure for Constipation I do not recommend.

It's funny i read your post earlier and thought good I'd love to poop but not cuz of that!!

I just broke down and took some laxatives that are supposed to work over night. My mom have them to me, i said "they aren't going to make me sh** my pants in the night are they? She started cracking up, she's getting a good Kick out of this cuz she's not a regular bm person like i am, she things I'm being a big baby, but damn it, it hurts!! Of course by hurts i mean it's really uncomfortable :-)

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
