Constipation, what a pain

I know this subject might be kind of on the messy side but we don't learn if we don't share, right? Do we all suffer with such painful constipations or is it just me?? Since I had my WLS I have not had to deal with constipation until now. When I was working two jobs I NEVER had time to drink water or eat properly and so the old pipes got clogged last night. I went to work feeling awful this morning and thank god I got off at 10am as I felt so ****ty. I never had lower back pain with constipation until now. I did take something to get me moving and it's moving now Then I had an awful stomach ache so I took something for that so I'm feeling so much better now My stomach is still a little sore. I'm happy to report I'm only working one job now. Donna 338/190 -148

Donna, I've been having the same problem. I have found that I really need to make sure that I keep up with the water for it to be ok, I can sure tell when I haven't been faithful with it. Glad that you are able to take it a little slower and only work one job. Take care, Loni

I figured it was the water in take and I'm going to push the water in the evenings now that I'm not working that other job. It's one of the worse feelings I have ever had. I take Milk of Magnesia but it did not work Donna 338/190 -148

I know just what you mean, it can be down right painful. Good luck with the water and it should be ok. Loni

I'm kind of glad I'm down to one job but I already miss everyone at my other job. I was thinking of calling them and seeing if I can come back for the holiday seasons. I know call me In all honesty I like being active and keep moving. My new job I'm on my feet non stop from 6am until 2pm but then I come home and then what I have dinner to make and that's it.

Donna, I have suffered with this a couple of times since my surgery. I take benefiber and colace every day and it seems to help. I think the water will help with preventing the constipation. I'm glad that you are over that now. Mary 302/202/1??

Dear Donna, When I get to feeling like that, I take 2 flax seed oil caps. It's also a good way to get the Omega 3 fatty acids in. -Angie 302/193

I HAVE FOUND THAT SINCE STARTING BACK ON A CUP OF COFFEE EACH MORNING, IT IS LIKE CLOCKWORK. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY CONSTIPATION WHATSOEVER SINCE DRINKING COFFEE. ANNE IN NEW ORLEANS
