I take Colace (stool softner but what a gross name!) whenever I've had this problem. If I don't, I can get horrific gas pains and think I am dying (ore delivering a child). I never leave home without gas-ex anymore.

Wow...I can't believe I'm still single.

Megan, men like gas & pooping. With a smile like that and gas to boot, you'll be hitched in no time! Hell, if I can get a man to the altar, anyone can!

Time to get down and dirty. I had major problems in this area many years ago. You have to train your body to make poopy at the same time every day. It took a long time for me to get on schedule, but now I can set my clock to my potty habits. A good solid walk first thing in the morning gets things moving if everything else fails. Think movement, dance, walk, laugh... when you move, so will your bowels. Works for me, anyway. Every - body - hang - chung... (singin' along.)

Lisa/DeLarla, you're probably great at housebreaking puppies! Someone in the mushy stage might not be able to dictate to her body yet, though. Pat, what you're going through is perfectly normal -- and Marie's right, don't be surprised if you get the runs next. If you're stuck, I recommend figs. Maybe figgy pudding for Christmas?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
