The wonderous Impacted feces

[cindyw41 761]

I'm 3+ months out and I still have bouts of this painful situation. Far from the taking any opioids period. I've been tempted to eat a Big Mac to clean the pipes (calm down I'm just kidding). Truly this was one new thing I wasn't expecting to experience.

I'm experiencing this now. I'm one week post op. I have always had issues with my BM. I use enema once a week before sleeve. I'm about to pull him out and re introduce myself

I live in the Middle East and we have real toilet on the floor. Like the squatters potty. It's a real toilet hole n the ground. Many countries have these except for America. If u ever build a house install one of these. I only use these when out n malls. No need to sit on another's pee. U just squat

**TMI alert***

Guys, this is super embarrassing but I need to know. I am at day 7 and while constipated for the past few days, today I've been dealing with impacted fecal matter that will not say bye. For a play by play, there have been 7 rounds and it's currently 7 feces - 0 me.

The surgeon has told me to to take dulcolax to try to fight it, but it's been 7 hours, and I have gone a few times only to have some spurts of loose motion, but the impacted matter is killing me and not exiting.

Did anyone else experience this? Or similar. I was feeling so much better but the flexing of my core during the episodes have left me very lower energy.

Best,

Sanju

The past 3 weeks I have seen my weight on the scale go up despite maintaining low cal intake.. I am not a big Water drinker, but since I don't eat very much in vegies, I can see why we get backed-up so to speak..

now getting back to the past 3 weeks, I saw the number go up as much as +7lbs which I knew was not fat, but feces (waste, poop, Mr. Hanky)... so I altered my food intake a bit.. switched to Beans, got some fruit in, drunk some fairlife, added back a Protein shake.. and I would release maybe one or 2 times every 2-3 days, small fries so to speak.. but I knew there was a big boy up there I wanted to get out...

At my job I take stairs, walk around and while I do sit a lot, when I am up i am moving.. I bowl also and play tennis..nothing made this giant brownie move down low enough I could expel it from my black hole..

then one day I has a fruit smooth at work...rumble rumble, blurp blurp, usually i get nervous when that happen because it means something not so solid is about to pass, but this time I was elated, I was almost skipping to the bathroom.. and when I got there.. ohhh my sweet Columbus,, it was magical.. i heard music.. and had to flush twice.. I left something massive in my employers bathroom and if anyone saw it, they would have called in a psychologist, pathologist and dinosaur hunter.

it took the better most of 3 weeks to get that out.. and I did not lose the 7+ pounds, i got 4 back.. but since then pooping more regular..
