Yay! A poop thread!

I just *noticed* that I haven't pooped in about 6 days (maybe longer?). I don't feel constipated at all, and the last time I went, I went A LOT multiple times that day, and had been pretty regular prior to that. I hadn't really been paying attention to it because I haven't had any discomfort but... probably need to get something moving. My book says if you haven't gone in 3 days to take Colace, but 6 days to move to a stimulant laxative or enema (NOOOO). I was told NOT to take fiber supplements (don't ask why - I don't feel like debating the logic of my surgeon, I'm just following his instructions). Should I skip right to the stronger stuff since it's been so long? Should I not do anything because it's not causing any discomfort?

I did have vomiting and severe nausea last night lasting to now... so maybe I should wait til tomorrow before trying laxatives?

Anyone have thoughts on Aloe juice? Someone on FB recommended it to me and I took some last night. Is it BS or does it actually help with anything? lol.

Helped with my hubby's piles!

I actually like the taste. And it certainly didn't seem to hurt anything. But it is sort of expensive, so I didn't know if it actually DID anything. lol.

Heheh I know, you don't want to be peeing your money away for nothing, hey.

Ok so did he ingest it or rub it on his hemmi's?

POOPDATE (poop update). Second suppository at lunch initiated some movement! It was small, but it was mine. I definitely feel some cramps now. Along with the second suppository, I had 4oz of aloe juice, Miralax, and a Colace. I am hoping that another dose of Miralax tonight and another Colace + a 3rd suppository in the a.m. will get me free n' clear!

SUNUVA. The surgeon's office said if I continue to have cramps into the night to go to the ER. >=[

Ahhhhhhrrgghhhhh oh the thought. Heaven help me, he drank it. ?

Smooth move tea works in a few hours.

I just had the weirdest night. After the second suppository with minimal success, I went back to work. At 4 I got very nauseous. Went to the ER. They did a CT of everything. I HAVE NO POOP IN ME AT ALL. 10 DAYS AND ZERO POOP ACCUMULATION. Who needs fiber? NOT ME APPARENTLY. It's just a friggin mystery! They called the bariatric surgeon and he was like... okay, cool... just go back to eating and you're good. So. No poops in 10 days is kosher for me. No leaks, no poop in places it shouldn't be. Just no poop. Aight.

I have been having nausea from the ulcer so the ER gave me FIVE more meds for that. Jeebus.

Not allowed to have senna. It's a stimulant and I have an ulcer.

Glad ??you reminded me, I might have gone marching to the pharmacy and what BAD RESULTS. I might have had! TY my friend.

Wow- I’m shocked you don’t have accumulation! Very glad you got things sorted!

I know. It's mystifying. I keep googling things like "why do I not have poop" lmao... there are no results! Day 11 without poos! And I've been eating refried beans and chicken salad and cheese and my shakes.... bizarre.

Has anyone tried drinking prune juice? I have some on hand and was going to try it if needed but forgot to ask my dietician. Thoughts?

Don't have a bottle handybut just wondering, what is the carb count on regular prune juice? I Always have thought it was pretty sweet tasting!☕
