**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

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

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..
