I'm so glad you posted this, i was about to. Having terrible difficulty "going" and it feels like an event when i do have to go because its like a 30 min process and not a pleasant one. My 2 week post op is tomorrow and i'll be definitely asking dr or pa for some assistance/guidance. I know i have to go, its just not a simple process

I add benefiber to my Water. It is flavorless and comes in single serving packets.

you should be having bowel movements 5 weeks out, even if they are soft and little. I am sure you are eating pureed foods which means you should be eliminating them. Make sure you are drinking lots of fluids and getting some Fiber which you can do via making home made smoothies. I put spinach in my smoothies with a small portion of fruit

I’m on regular food now! Unfortunately my bowels are not cooperating so I’ve been using an enema once a week! Nearly 8 weeks out now! So yeah! Somethings wrong! Dr says it’s because I’m ingesting so little 🤨

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        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!!
