I was banded on Oct 4th as well and finally had some relief from the same problem you're experiencing just yesterday... when I asked my surgeon about it on the 9th, he told me to drink plenty of Water and also it was OK to take Metamucil in water (lots of water) to help get things moving. I hope you feel better soon!

I was having sorta that trouble but not for as many days and I read a post on here to drink Gerber's baby prune/pear juice. It comes in small 8 oz bottles and actually doesn't taste bad....anyway it worked for me after the first bottle....

citracel is a better choice than metamucel because we have to drink slowly and citracel doesn't get thick!! comes either flavored or unflavored and sugar free....this will be an ongoing problem....I have been banded for 15 month and down 113#....not one moment goes by that I dont think of getting "stuck" somewhere along the line LOL :Banane30:!!!

I was banded on the 3rd and I totally was backed up! I used Milk of Magnesia on the advise of fellow bandsters. I TOTALLY worked! I was good because it did not cause CRAMPING or any stomach discomfort during the "act". I will never use anything else again. It did take two doses because I was so backed up.

Thanks so much, have managed to get un blocked and my stomach is deflating lol.

Flying to Spain this evening with 30 friends so now won't look like the pregnant mother.

Thanks loads for the advice not there's not much help in the UK for fellow bandsters.

Hope you all have a good week-ends

:clap2:

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
