What the F**K Up with the Constipation!



Recommended Posts

Constipation is awful, I drink almost 2 liters of Water per day, but damn now I am stuck with a nasty external hemorroid. It hurts like hell, worst side effect of my sleeve so far, damn I hate it.

Had my first issue with Constipation. After the surgery I was having diarrhea but this morning was brutal. About 45 minutes and I noticed blood in the stool which has me concerned. My doctor prescribed Colace but it said to stop if I had diarrhea which I did. Hopefully I didn't wreck anything. My doctor told me to start sweating to lose weight and I was sweating passing this.

This will pass. It finally did for me. Take the colace. If it gets too bad, use a fleet suppository. Sounds gross but it works and is for better than tearing your rectum or causing a bleeding hemorrhoid !

I'm think of adding some Metamucil or something to my Protein shake as well.

@@sgc that is a good idea. Fiber will help keep things moving once it gets started.

I second Probiotics... mine work wonders. Now I actually enjoy pooping.

ok, that sounded weird.

then again, I'm also thrilled I can actually wipe my own butt now with all the weight loss...

Colace has worked for me. Much better than being in labor for 45 minutes.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
