I thought I would kick off the fun for August Sleevers! So here we go!!

I am scheduled for Monday August 19th! Let the countdown begin!!

You may have less to lose than the average sleever. Even if it comes off slowly stay encouraged its happening. I was sleeved the same day as you SW 182' date=' CW 171 talk about slow! We can do this! Hope when I'm able to exercise these pounds will come off faster.[/quote']

I hat to say it' date=' because I know it's gross....but maybe it's time for a suppository?[/quote']

Has anyone had a really hard first 2-3wks. I have been so miserable. The first 2wks I had the runs 3x a day. Then since my doc switched me to stage 3 I haven't had a BM in 8 days. My doc doesn't want me to take anything right now but I'm so uncomfortable. I did take gasx but it doesn't seem to be helping.

Yes I have, the runs 3-4 x a day. I am now in the hospital with dehydration watch out for this 2 nod trip to hospital since surgery. I try to eat and I run.

Prune juice helped me and its natural so no side effects etc. someone else suggested apple juice but that didn't work for me. Good luck!

That's what I'm afraid of. I went from the runs to constipation. They checked me for infection and it was negative but they want me to do another test to make sure it wasn't a false negative but now I can't go. I think I'm only at about 20oz of water today. I just feel so bloated and swollen that when I drink its worse and starts to hurt cause I feels like I'm forcing water into a place that's full......if that makes sense.

Thanks I will try that. My RN suggested the tea smooth move so I'm going to try that tonight.

Try diluted apple juice. It works for me every time.

You could also try prune juice. I take it every morning, about 3 or so oz diluted with a little water.

Has anyone had the BIG stitch finally popped? I can't wait until mine does. How long is the average wait?
