oh man... i didn't poo for 9 days after surgery. It was cray cray. I started adding A LOT of Sunsweet Suprafiber to my smoothies AND takling 2x dose of Miralax for days 6-8...then on Day 9 the miracle happened. Now that I am 8 mos out, I make sure to include a lot of high Fiber foods in my diet...or it somes back REAL QUICK. Something about super-high Protein diet...it's binding (much like our decision, lol).

Here is a good one that will help you. 1/2 tablespoon of butter, 2 tbsp of Milk of Magnesia, Prune juice mixed in a cup, Microwave it for warm feeling and drink it. Wait 30 Minutes and it is magic.

Please this is for when you are really STOPPED. Best practice is to add Fiber to your daily .

Trader Joes Just mangos. A couple of those a day will help.

I'm 6 days out, and no BM yet. I'm going to try a bit of Miralax tonite, as it was the one that gently worked for me prior to my surgery. Sounds like this is a common problem after surgery.

Oh Lordy! I am four days post op and haven't had a bm since 2 days before surgery. I Amin the airport miserably waiting for my flight home so I don't want to take anything until I get home. On top of that I started my period early today. Double cramping! Can't wait to get home!

      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!
