My NUT has me taking prune juice at bedtime. Also, Walgreens carries the Smooth Move Tea, but the local stores did not have it. I ordered it online and it arrived in 4 days. Yes, it works, and they have several different flavors.

Metamucil and a good quality pro-biotic worked for me.

I also took some Colace when things were really difficult - that was the only thing that helped me when I wasn't eating veggies.

Once I started eating more veggies, things got moving a little better and was able to stop the Colace. I still take the Metamucil and probiotic every day.

I spent 8 hrs in the ER yesterday to remove the impacted stool. Extremely painful! I am sore and exhausted. How that never happens again! Taking Miralax and Colace every day now. I pulled stool the size of lemons out of me.

Poor Laura!

I was training a gerbil to use a flashlight and a pick axe!!!

That was by far, the worst part of my recovery...

Yes, good old milk of magnesia can be used. It's awesome and so is the warm prune juice.

      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!
