I enjoy a good enema for quick relief. You can get them at the grocery store, Walmart, pharmacy... Fleet is a good brand. Get several while you are shopping!

I'm still on liquid but I'm allowed to have sugar free ice cream popsicles.. 1% milk.. Creamy Soup.. sugar free Jello. Not on the Clear liquids. I need to get some. Nothing helped. Even took some colace.

What helped me was *I stopped taking pain meds 2 days post op, they also said anesthesia effects our bowls too* but I'm to take two colace a day for a month, walk walk walk helps bowls move, and most importantly Water, it helps more if you're getting your liquids in. I have been able to get mine in since day 3 and by day 4 I've been regularly going ever since (I'm 6 days post op). If you aren't getting liquids in or walking much that could be the problem as well because we need that Water and movement to make our bowls get going. Hope this helps!

I'm a little over a week post-op. Gas X strips were my life saver! Also stay hydrated, check with your dr if you can have some Milk of Magnesia to get things moving. Good luck!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
