I rarely use the bathroom anymore?

I've looked for it at Walmart with no luck. Anywhere else it's sold?

I am wondering the same thing. I am 10 days post op and feel like I am not going at all. Still on mostly Clear liquids so I guess that is probably most of it but still seems weird. Great ideas on this site!

How much caffeine are you getting? That's not a good idea when you've got dehydrated poo clogging you up. Of course, I quit caffeine altogether and I have bad days, so it's no guarantee of success.

Hmm other causes? Too much Calcium in your diet?

Medications for depression or blood pressure?

Dehydrated (I think you eliminated that - pardon the pun)

Exercise helps too. Bounce on the treadmill for an hour a day and it might loosen things up for ya.

My nut said caffeine was ok because I drink almost 100 ounces Water a day on top of couple cups coffee. I do hr and half four to five days a week on the treadmill. I'm really just at a loss. If it's not a fibroid making this so bad, I'm not sure what to do next. I will try Decaf coffee and see but this was here before I added caffeine back, but will try about anything at this point!

You didn't address the question of volume. When I was a coffee drinker I was drinking it nonstop, all day. And are you counting it into your Water total?

I know you said you take Vitamins, but does yours have Iron in them? Iron is notoriously causes Constipation. I know I can not take extra iron for this reason, My 6 month blood work was good even without extra supplements.

I'm not sure. Take Celebrate multi so guessing it has some. I've always taken a Vitamin but I'm sure these have way more in them.

Be careful with Smooth Move tea. That stuff can be harsh on a normal stomach... I'd be nervous about using it the sleeve

      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! 😞
