First bowel movement after sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone this may be TMI but I'm sure someone else has experienced it and can help me. I was sleeved on 10/31/16. 8 days postop now! As of today I've experienced the urge to poop. It has caused me so much pain and I'm kind of scared to push. Is there anything you guys can recommend from your experience. I've heard that Metamucil Works has anybody tried it? I am so frustrated at this point can someone help with recommendations please! I spoke to my doctor he also recommended Metamucil. I'm on liquids until the 15th.

Take Miralax. Put in on Cristal Light or any other flavored drink. 8oz. You will go the next day.

I used Dulcolax in the end after trying loads of other stuff. Take a pillow and put it over your tummy whilst you are on the loo and try to raise your feet off the floor (a box might help).. I hope you get relief soon :)

You can get a fleet enema or suppositories. Easy and fast. Softens it up.

They put me on collace a stool softener, and latter added miralax then suggested benefiber if nothing else helped but only a little bc it can quickly make things worse especially if your having issues getting all the fluids in

If your still in the pain meds, that stuff really slows the bowel motility up too

Took me several days, they said if no bm by four days, to call bc that can get you sick

      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.
