No BM in two weeks?



Recommended Posts

Make sure you check with your surgeon regarding which products you are allowed to use. Sennakote is one he does not let me use. Pepto Bismol is another.

You should call him/his office to let him know that you have not gone in 2 weeks.

For the poster asking about going to the ER try calling your doctor's office first. Hopefully you have a 24 hour nursing line and they should have recommendations. They will know the preferred drugs etc.. for post bariatric surgery. If you can't get a hold of the office in a reasonable time I would go to an Urgent Care first choice and the ER second choice.

Some insurance companies also have a 24 hour nurse hot line. Mine does.

My doc never mentioned to me when I should have one but I had my first one Monday, surgery was the 10th. I was prescribed liquid Colace to use as needed. I never used it.

Went to the ER, wasn't fun My bowels were impacted which also shut down my bladder. So they had to use a catheter and they manually unimpacted me! Back home today and feeling like a million bucks.

When I was doing the HCG diet we had to drink a tea called "Smooth Moves" every other nite before bed. I have just started using it again with good results.

@@GreenEyes604 Unfortunately this happened to me yesterday! I had to buy a fleet enema for the first time and my mother helped to...administer it, lol. Needless to say in about 2 minutes I felt some much needed relief!

I have the Smooth Move tea in four different flavors. My favorite is chocolate because I can steep it in my hot chocolate at bedtime and not taste that herbal flavor so much. I use it if I haven't gone for a couple of days. Everything is just fine by morning. I also keep stool softener, Miralax, magnesium tablets, prune juice, and apples on hand. I guess it's the old Girl Scout in me.......be prepared.

I would go to the er if I was in pain. I've been doing milk of magnesia for two days now. I feel action in the gut and gas but still no bm.

Then try to get more Water in while you are taking it

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
