It's my day 4 and I feel like I'm still in pain. My right side hurts bad. I been craving crazy foods. I feel like I'm not noticing when I'm full. My stomach is still very swollen and I can't poop. Can someone help!!! You every went through this?

I'm no help but this post makes me feel better. I'm in the same exact boat. My right side hurts so bad through to my back. I think the gas is out but I haven't pooped since before surgery. I'm swollen and grumpy lol.

Bexybooboo I am SO glad I'm not alone. Thank you

I’m with y’all, but mine is my left side. I was also worried about not pooing, but now I’ve gone three times. I’m starting to worry a little.

This thread is awesome lol! We'll be ok. We just gotta ride it out!

I pooped Day 5 after surgery. I walked every day to get rid of gas and pain. I mostly walked around my yard for 10 minutes every hour. I'm on Day 9 and I'm almost starting to feel normal again. It gets better:)

I used MOM in the early days for constipation.

Wow interesting I hope all goes well I pray I can fight through it without complications.

I had the sleeve 5 days ago. Was so constipated and belly hurting. Had an icepack on all day. I wish the surgeon would have told me to take the Miralax before i called today. The nurse said the constipation is usually from pain meds and once they are out of your system and eating food it is better. I would definately try some if you didnt already. I am not really hungry. Constantly sipping on protein shakes or clear protein, gatorade, broth. Caffeine free tea, or jello and sf popsicles. I also froze some protein shakes in little containers to make it easier to get down. Seems to help.

So you need to take a laxative after the surgery or before thanks for sharing midnightsun

Alright the pain in my tummy is getting real and I'm pretty sure it's just constipation. I'm coming up on a week of no [emoji90]

How much MOM do I take?? We have smaller tummies so do I take less than the 30mL

You can st

you can start there and if it doesn't work take a full dose. You will feel much better for sure. Good luck

I took a laxative before surgery to ensure everything was cleaned out. I finally pooped 8 days post OP and it was after 2 days of taking MOM plus 2 dulcolax, but now I poop daily. Nurse Practitioner said it was probably due to me starting vitamins too soon. Hope this helps! You're certainly NOT alone!

So I finally went thanks to the Milk of magnesia but it was BRIGHT yellow diarrhea. Anyone else have this? I hope it's normal ?

You are normal, hope you feel better !

I am 6 days out from sleeve to rny revision & still have not ?. I am finally passing gas, but I do not feel any urge to have a bowel movement. I have been taking Dulcolax stool softener a couple times a day, but still nothing. Was wondering if MOM or Mirilax is the way to go? I am also having a sharp pain under by left breast/rib cage. Hurts to take a deep breath. Anyone else experience this?
