I was in the emergency room this morning and apparently I'm having pains from not going in 4 days... I got my sleeve Tuesday and still haven't gone. Tried mineral oil, softeners, benefiber, water, and haven't taken any pain pills. Help!!

Might be time for the ever popular Fleet Enema! Warm it up slightly in the microwave and let it do its work! Good luck! What did they say at the ER?

They gave me FOUR suppositories..... ????

Have you tried Miralax?

Milk of magnesia always does the trick for me.... Longest I went without going was 7 days.... Took 3 tablespoons and BAM.... Literally lol

That's so funny, because you're right, it's not exactly something you can casually bring up with your work buddies! (lol) I actually went almost 2 weeks! (never felt bad, but was on mostly liquids) Then accidentally I tried a little coffee. To say the least, things evened out! I don't think I'll do coffee again anytime soon. (lol)

Just got sleeved yesterday.

How soon should we be going post op?

Only one clear liquids but I'm getting worried I never had a bowel movement.

Is this normal?

If you're not uncomfortable I wouldn't worry too much... but I'd also try "smooth move" tea. I didn't go for nearly a week after my surgery and my nutritionist said this was normal between the anesthesia and the liquid diet. However I found it weird and drank the tea to speed things up. It's good to have on hand for this sort of thing.

I took Milk of mag on day four and went on day 5, oh and just an FYI! It's not the same as before!

Is it more liquidy?

Thanks

Why not call your surgeon before going to the ER?

I didn't go for almost a week and a half after surgery. Never took anything, I was informed that I may only go 1 to 2 times a week, so I didn't worry.

Mirolax 1 capful, I hadn't gone in 7days took it in the AM and went and went and went late in the afternoon, evening, and night, yeah I was never happier

I have a capful of powdered miralax in s cup of herbal tea before bedtime and by morning, all is good with the world. I will use the mirilax if I am on my second day of not going. Also I have a friend who has chronic constipation and she has taken it every day for years. It is very safe
