Topic: RE: Constipation - Hard Stools - HELP!!

I have been having the same problems... Doc said to eat more fruit if I can and told me to start drinking a gallon of watter a day he also put me on 2 Colace a day. I have not been in pain or anything but I have been constipated (spelling) for almost 4 days then again for 2 and counting LOL... I think the reason I am having trouble now because I amtaking some more pain meds.

Topic: Are you a lurker?

As you know, many of us started out just lurking these rooms. You know, reading posts but never posting. How neat would it be if all the lurkers out there in this room just hit that reply buttom and shouted out that they were here.

So how about it all you lurkers? Do you have it in you to give us a shout out?

Or will you remain hiding out from us?

Topic: RE: Constipation - Hard Stools - HELP!!

Two weeks ago I had a problem that I would classify as major! Resulted in going up there after some blocked items actually. I tried the Colace stool softeners, Milk of Magnesia....nothing. What finally worked is this. WHen I take my Calcium tablets at night, I take 500 MG of Magnesium (2 small tablets) along with it. See this article here: http://ezinearticles.com/?Using-Calcium-and-Magnesium-for-Constipation&id=40719 I am regular as clockwork at 7 AM. My NUT told me this week to increase fiber. I am eating Kashi Go Lean Crunch now as a mid morning snack. The PA at my surgeon's office said to take a 4 tsp dose of MOM if it happens again.

Congratulations!!! My surgery was 8/13 and I've lost 37 lbs. since surgery. You're doing great!! I lost 22 lbs. during my 2 week pre-op liquid diet, I think that's why I haven't lost as fast since surgery. Keep up the good work!!

Topic: RE: Weekly Weight In - Week of Oct 22nd

That's crazy, we had surgery a day apart, we've lost about the same amount, and you've gone down that many sizes?? I am still wearing the same size in most things, and one size down in others. I am jealous! ;)
