Sleeved Tuesday 7/5, pooped Friday 7/8 but it was very hard to do. I don't recommend it lol

Try a 1/2 dose Milk of Magnesia before bed. But don't forget to drink Water after you take it! Bottle recommends 8oz but drink as much as you can in the hours following the dose!

I was sleeved 7/5 and nope, not a thing, and I'm sure it's not helping my new stomach! They prescribed Miralax which has never worked for me. I'm going to ask tomorrow about trying Milk of Magnesia which always does the trick!

Call your surgeon's office and they will recommend something for you to take....mine was Ducalax. It's always best to check with your surgeon's office before taking something....it's been too long for you so you need to get it "taken care of"

Good luck!

Lots of Water and whatever your surgeon prescribes you to take . Everyone is different on what works . But Water is the same for all of us. As much water as you can take in

I think that by asking this question yesterday it sparked something because today was the day!

I was sleeved 6/27 and I finally pooped 7/1. I was allowed to take miralax, and I only took that once. Walking really helped me get things moving

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.
