I was sleeved on 12/12 & have only had 2 bowel movements. I was told not to worry much since its all liquids that are being consumed

I was told to take stool softeners to avoid Constipation once I started the full liquid stage (soups and such). Apparently that can become a chronic issue in sleevers because of all the Protein.

Also sleeved 12th of December
I purchased Smooth Move tea and Phillips stool softener worked perfectly

I had my surgery Dec 11 and I actually purchased a cook book that had a recipe for a smoothie that really helped me. It has pear, Apple, spinach, avocado, almond milk and a splash of oj. It's delicious and has really helped me.

End up at er it is not apendiside but where the stables are it is so crump and soer but no infection, just pain. Anyone had anything like that? I am on my 7 day of sleeve. I don’t know if I over did. This didn’t start until 3 days after and I thought was gas pain.

I was sleeved on 12/12 also!!
That was a Tuesday and I didn’t have a bm until that Saturday same week. Colace works well also

The doctor's office told me to lay off the Protein Shakes until I have a BM. (Also sleeved on the 18th!) But now I'm hungry, still constipated, and frankly scared to [emoji90] because it hurts around my wounds...
Has anyone tried using magnesium citrate after surgery? I still have some left from pre-op...

If you do try laxatives go easy...I overshot a little with the dulcolax

Hi MissCasey,

I was sleeved on 12/18, and am having the same issue. The PA who called to check on me after i got home suggested Miramax powder. I've added it to my Crystal Light for the past 2 days. It's supposed to work by the 3rd day. Keeping my fingers crossed. [emoji4]
