Help... I really need to poop



Recommended Posts

Try Dulcolax suppository, fleets enema glycerin suppository. Need to move bottom out so top can pass through. I had to use suppository every other day until I got better. Then add Peri-Colace. Take two at bedtime. See if you can find capsules. I don't know if they make capsules but the pills or not hard to swallow but they seem to sit there in my pouch but I usually go to bed to keep from feeling that Little bit of fullness.

Try Actilax or Lactulose Syrup. It is a sticky liquid laxative and helped me greatly after spinal fusion surgery. I swear by it. In my work as a nurse, we also do a Coloxyl milk shake which consists of crushing 2xColoxyl with senna tablets, add 30ml Lactulose syrup and 20ml of Agarol syrup. Add 50ml of milk and mix together. Works a treat!!

I can't even think about taking MiraLAX and it has no flavor. It nauseate me. Just thinking of it. That is why I would try the other end. Then oral meds after this

Try the Lactulose Syrup on its own then. It is sweet. I was extremely nauseated when I had a spinal surgery through my abdomen and was nil by mouth for the week prior to surgery. I managed to tolerate it well and I managed to go to the loo within 2 hours without straining. Sorry to be graphic. I hope this helps.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
