@@kimvox66 I wear my binder over night and a couple hours throughout the day and I've had my 1st BM 4 days post op. Hope everything gets better for you soon.

Thanks @julbel721. The binder they gave me takes 2 of us to put on me so I'm using Spanx-like undergarments which do help. I'm wearing them basically 24/7 and do feel like I may be turning a corner on this! It's just frustrating to be doing so well one week post op then hitting a wall in the second week, but no matter. It's all in the process. Now if I could just get my plumbing to turn that same corner, I'd be one happy camper...

@@kimvox66 I am so sorry to hear that you are feeling so terrible. I do hope it gets better soon! I will keep you in my prayers. I am suffering with Constipation too. Hubby just went out to get me some Miralax. I am hoping it helps!

Thanks so much, @edie091371. I think I'm turning a corner but still really stopped up, even after Milk Of Magnesia and Colace (doesn't work). Hopefully it'll work itself out though. I wish you continued forward progress in your recovery as well!

I posted before that my surgery was Oct 21. Due to an office mistake, I've now been pushed back to Oct 26th. They'd told me Oct 21, but arranged everything for Oct 14, and when I was finally told on Oct 13, I could not suddenly take off work early, etc. Luckily I don't have to wait too much longer. I've now been on the liquid diet 4 weeks as of tomorrow, so still have one more week of it.

I have tried that since being on preop with no results. I am so fearful of the Constipation after surgery being I

Just got home. I'm glad to be on my couch curled up in a warm blanket. My puppy is sure mad at me, he wants nothing to do with me at the moment. Haha. Good luck and a speedy recovery for those who are having surgery tomorrow or who just had surgery.

My surgery is scheduled for October 26, 2015. Seven days to go. Sooo ready to lose weight and stop being in pain.

@@julbel721 I am a stomach sleeper too. I am feeling the shifts as well. And I seem to have this irrational fear that I am going to either tear open my inner staples or my outer incisions each time I roll over.

Also I don't take my pain meds but at night. I feel I cannot really rest without them. Does anyone else feel this way?

I have the same fear, lol! My surgeon laughed when I joked about it, said he attached it better than that. But still! Having this surgery sometimes makes me feel like I'm pregnant again... My abdomen has been transformed into this life-changing new entity with all the worries that come with it, lol. With every gas pain I have to remind myself that it is not a baby's foot or hiccup

[edie091371 544]

@@irishaggie LOL I know exactly what you mean. I have equated this with pregnancy at times too. Even holding my stomach because of the gas pains.

Well I just had my first non Protein Drink meal.. Kevin made me get out and go to the grocery with him. While there I found LaMadeline to motor basil Soup in a jar. OMG . I finally felt my "full" . I never thought I would. About ounces did it. I am so excited..I now know what my full feels like. And it feels great!!

@@kvoneye Hurry home!!!!! You will get better rest there, & hopefully all that anathesia (spelling?) will be out of your system!!!

@@edie091371 Welcome to my world lol!!!

Same here... I've been doing great and then quickly became bloated and uncomfortable... could not even pass gas. I took some miralax, but needed something immediate... Resorted to glycerin suppositories (I know, yuck and tmi, so sorry!) and it helped almost immediately... I was miserable last night but much better today!

[irishaggie 304]

Ugh..time to get out of bed and start my first Protein shake!!

I've been eating cream of wheat in the morning mixed with almond milk... @edie91372, are you able to eat purees, yet?
