im freaking out because its so hard to keep liquids down. everyone is saying this is normal and ill one day be able to get food down. but that seems impossible to me right now. can anyone please give me some words of hope from their own experiences??

Do not worry, I had the same, just be patient and sip water every 5-10 minutes.

Thank you for that question and answer. I'm having the same problem and my surgery was 2/8

It is individually, for some people yes.

I also cannot have a bowel movement. Been drinking "smooth move" herbal tea today and I just took a suppository.

Hope that will help

Someone On here mentioned Milk of Magnesia. I took some and walked the steps, i had a bowel movement the next morning and I felt so much better!!!

Suck on ice chips all day long! Crushed some with a hammer in a ziplock bag lol [emoji23]

Keep a water by your bed at night too. If u get thirsty in the middle of the night take a sip.

I was in panic mode just a few days out, too. That problem went away by about Day 6/7. It's been 3 weeks now and I feel awesome! Also 27 lbs down. Stick with the liquids as long as you can! It's so worth it.

It gets better
