Oh my gosh I know right?! I've never been constipated like this before! It's almost a relief when it is diarrhea! I tried a little salsa and it was fine! No issues so far! Yay!! Hope you feel better soon!

Me too! So uncomfortable most days because nothing is moving. Last week it took 2 days doses of 4 tsp of milk of magnesia to even get a little relief. This week trying Miralax daily to see if it will help.

Muralax, it's expensive but a capful in every night in your favorite drink will help you to go regular

I tried 2 chicken drum sticks buffalo style and I was ok with eating them and had no problem and I am about 3 1/2 weeks out. I also chewed the food until I was sure it would be ok before swallowing.

Warm tea or coffee...completely dissolves (though its not BAD in cool liquids either). I have a 9 year old that tends to be constipated, we make hot tea and mix in the miralax and share a cup of 'poop tea'....but we're weird! :). Hope it works!!!

I would give anything to be constipated: (

For the last six weeks I have had diarrhea every day 6-10 times per day. It hurts. It always feels like I've been punched in the stomach. It always takes 30_45 mins to go. My job is getting mad at me because I'm away from my desk so much and getting behind on my work because of it. They are threatening to fire me.

My doc says no and is supposed to be sending me a list of Fiber foods that bind. Hope that works...

Oh no! That's terrible! Six weeks! An they are only going to send you Fiber info to bind?? That seems like a long time to have that with pain, maybe you need a second opinion?? Hope it gets better. What about cheese? That always plugs me up! As far as your work, can you get a medical excuse and that way they can't take action due to laws against termination stemmed from illness??? Praying everything works out for you!

      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!
