*POOP POST SO YOUVE BEEN WARNED*

So my bathroom trips have been weird for weeks now. Some days I’ll have diarrhea and sometimes I’m constipated for days. I have a problem with Water retention and that along with Constipation I’m bloated a lot and uncomfortable.

Saw this on Amazon and I’m wondering if it’s safe to take?

I’ve tried everything for constipation and it either doesn’t agree with me or i get uncontrollable diarrhea for days and after awhile it’s painful and don’t wanna deal with it. Anyone familiar with this?

I wouldn't use anything like that without checking with my doc.

One thing my group has OKed that works well for a lot of people is Smooth Move tea. Not sure if you've tried it yet, but if your doc says it's ok, it's worth a try. I was surprised how well it works, and it's gentle. (just make sure to start off with one cup....don't drink it all day)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
