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

      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!!
