The wonderous Impacted feces

**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

two words..."squatty potty". I was having the same issue, and no medicine worked for me. But the squatty potty was, hell still is wonderful. And it was a non medicinal way. I had even tried a enema, which when you are compacted is not nice.

I know I sound like a commercial but I feel your pain, and my longest bout was greater than 21 days. With my special friend, I don't hardly have to struggle or push at all.

Oh and this is not TMI, it is a real issue many of us experience.

The is a thread you should check out: You and your post op ass. It is hilarious and true

Best of luck and release to you. : >

I hope everyting came out all right in the end.

The title of this post would make a pretty crappy title of a Dr. Seuss book.

      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?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
