When I came home from the hospital I was so worried about going poop my family said I was rather obsessed. Well I went 5 days after surgery and thought all was well.

Well about a month and half out, even though I was getting in all my Protein and Water things stopped. Oh man was I in so much pain. When I called my docs office they said to get Miralax and put some in my drink. So that is what I did and low and behold.......It worked!! Thank God!! I never ever want to go thru that again.

I now drink 24oz decaf tea every night with my scoop of Miralax in it and things have smooth going since. My NP told me to go to only using a half serving of Miralax now, but I do one full serving one day and then 1/2 a serving the next day. I am just so afraid of that happening again.

Well anyway the reason I am sharing this lovely story is my husband and daughter almost bought me this tshirt for Christmas. I will post a pic down below. I laughed so hard when I saw it. I told the they should have, but I think my daughter was afraid I would wear it outside the house.

Thought it might bring a smile to someone's face who is struggling.

Sorry I meant impaction. If you have ever experienced you would obsess on regularity as well .

I suffered most of my life with irritable bowel, loose stools, chronic diarrhea... It gradually got better after VSG surgery. I didn't realize constipation was such an issue for people after WLS.

I don't know why but it strikes my funny bone that the two problems cancel each other out. Now if we can figure out how to cancel out excessive libido, hair loss and loose skin I think we'll really be on to something good!

Lmao that's fantastic!
