Thanks so much fot this! I had my first Sahara ep yesterday and I would not wish it on anyone! I'm 8 days out and Smooth Move helped me a couple of times and I went naturally a couple of times so I didn't think to take it again. I'm off pain meds and have been able to get all my fluids in. What I went through yesterday I would not wish on anyone! I drank my yea last night and semi-volcano-ed twice today. Still more preferable to Sahara!

Can you drink Smooth Move after or when you have already had Miralax? Or do you have to wait till the next day?

Miralax tends to take a couple days to work, Smooth Move from what I understand works faster. The issue is you don't want to overdo it and wind up in Volcano stage.

OMG thanks for the side splitting laugh this morning!

Amusingly enough this post was initially started as a serious topic. However I decided to add some humor into a rather uncomfortable subject as a method of getting people to feel more comfortable talking about it. I think I overdid it, but the post is still full of great stuff that the community added, so I'll call this one a win.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
