Should I be concerned?



Recommended Posts

I have not made a number two in about 3 days....it's been almost three weeks since surgery...thought I was doing good. Should I be concerned????

definitely. Get some Fiber asap. Constipation over 3 days becomes super toxic for your body.

I am 6 monthd post op but still have days where I don't BM. Everyone is different, consult your Dr. They will let you know what to expect.

Are you really eating anything solid at 3 weeks out?? You can try a natural stool aid, but I'm guessing it's because there isn't solids going in.

Well I get super nervous if I don't go, I put Mira lax in my drinks, or if I know I'm not going anywhere, I do milk of magnesium! You gotta stay reg!

I use to be super regular same time every morning like clock work pre surgery. Now post, I don't eat no where as much as I use to. 2 1/2 months out every 3-4 days is regular.

I had the same problem. I tried a stool softener, prune juice, and finally got some suppositories. Since then I put some Holy Crap mix in my oatmeal -chia seeds, buckwheat, hemp seeds. Works like a charm

I was having the same concerns so I asked my dr and he advised my that's its normal since there's not as much going in, said to call him if I had any stomach pains or discomfort due to Constipation.

But you should always ask your drs advise just to be on the safe side.

You really aren't constipated until like a week. Your fine, take a laxative and move it.

      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!
