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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
