Advice to GO....

Need some advice??? Maybe too much cheese in diet... Have taken two stool softners- drinking much.. Two days cannot go and feel uncomfortable. Prior to RNY- always on the go!! Do I just have to deal with it...

Dear Pattiann, It will come in due time.I had the same problem to begin with.But, then they changed an I'm back to being pretty normal.Your body goes thru shock and has to reregulate itself.Just take care an do as your told.

I had surgery on 7/15 and last weekend until Tuesday I also was constipated. It all cleared up halfway thru my walk on Wed a.m. Had to make a beeline home . Made it just in time. Might have something to do with being on puree now and have been loving refried beans/cheese/taco meat, etc-lol everything fine now, it seems. Luci

I've heard that some people never get back to a "daily" routine. We just aren't eating enough I guess. Give it time, but mention it at your next doc's appointment. HUGS! Kimberly

Hi Pattiann, I had a similar problem & also took two stool softners without success. After that I took one dose of Milk of Magnesia, which is what is recommended in my bariatric book for constipation. It worked well. I try to not take laxatives because it goes the other way for me, but I could tell I felt constipated and would rather it go to the diareah stage than get blocked. Hope this helps. Diana C.
