So happy to report I finally got some Bowel relief. The Colace, Miralax, and fluids were definitely a factor but what really made it come along was using my squatty potty. I forgot I had one because pre surgery it wasn’t that helpful but I guess post surgery it will be now. Lol ? ? I never thought I would get so excited about a BM I was always regular. Sleeve was 2/28, exactly a week ago.

That’s the second time I have heard of that thing and everyone raved about how well it works. I’m glad it worked for you.

Constipation is already an issue for me so a big concern after surgery. Thanks for the heads up!

I co-led one of the pre-op classes at my clinic for three years (i.e., before COVID hit), and my co-leader ( another WLS patient) swore by this thing...

I swear when I sat on that thing the rumble started immediately. It took some patience the first time because you have to let it work, so I just got comfortable and waited lol I’ve gone twice a day now.

Makes sense, the natural position is how you see a dog poop. lol

Glad you feel better!
