Question on Coffee and laxitive choices.



Recommended Posts

Good Sunday everyone.

I am dealing with the second case of bad constipation...currentky using Senecot S..benefiber for fiber..milk of magnesia and glicern sopostories.

nothing is really happening..i am drinking lots of Water and excersise as well..

What is everyone else using that really helps them??

Also..before I had surgery my morning coffee always did the trick..have a coffee...then off to the bathroom..

Is anyone having coffee after Gastric Bypass..i was once told by one doc no caffeine.. but many others say everything in moderation...im wondering if that may help me with my being so constipated....

I appreciate everyone's replies..i honestly do

thx.

I was really constipated at times and still can be. I used a lot of stuff before I found that dulcolax works like a dream for me. I drink a ton of Water every day, eat well and exercise and I still have problems but I think it's more to do with my thyroid than anything.

Best of luck 🙂

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
