I've never been this excited to poop!



Recommended Posts

Have been absolutely plugged up since surgery. Today was the 2nd BM i've had in over a week. Hoping it gets better.

Milk of Magnesia is my BFF. I had to call on Jesus, Mary, and Joseph for relief the 1st time and it was about a 3 hour endeavor after 2 MOM doses over 24 hours time. I cried a little :(

OMG... Been where you ARE.. get you some MOM. Milk of magnesium. TAKE a capful. I KNOW what $hitting a BRICK feels like as I waited TOO long after surgery. I had to give myself enemas, and it still did not work. MOM, milk of magnesium will be your FRIEND~~~ take a cap-full early morning-afternoon......if it does not work the first time, ADD MORE to the cap on top of bottle. Take a double shot if needed, Just STAY CLOSE to the bathroom as it will remove the PLUG, but will make u RUN...................SMOOTH MOVE.................after MOM......... it makes u say AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :D

Dude, i think i almost burst a vessel going the 1st time, literally brought tears to my eyes. I don't have kids so couldn't judge if this was worse than childbirth lol

Just had my band out and I pushed for an hour when I finally had to go. My legs and feet got numb from sitting. Talk about interrupting progress to stand and shake out the numbness in my lower extremities

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
