Extreme Constipation After RNY..worse now that Prego!

Well board its been quit awhile since I posted!

But I am 22wks along now and having a few issues due to my bypass in 2003. 

1st.  The gaining weight is a mental issue!!  I am only up 6lbs BUT that seems like a ton to someone who lost 180lbs, Im sure everyone understands!

2nd.  The constipation after my RNY was horrible but now that Im am prego its even worse!  Has anyone else had this issue?  & what have you found if ANYTHING has helped!  Ive tried a few OTC products w/no RELIEF and I feel as Im gonna 'burst'!  

Thanks for any help or advise from fellow 'post-op pregos'

I think for me the worst part of being pregnant was the constipation.  It hurt and was so uncomfortable it wasn't even slightly funny!  I heard that eating a pickle a day helps, just be very careful with your sodium intake.  The pickle a day worked for my SIL and I believe a few ladies on here.  When I got really bad I would go to Walgreens and get glycerin suppositories.  OMG they are a HUGE relief!!  They work within minutes (sometimes seconds depending on how bad it is).  They draw fluid to your bowels so you can go easily, painlessly, and effortlessly.  Those things were a life saver for me!

Good luck and hang in there.

When I was pregnant I ate Metamucil wafers daily, they helped a lot also.
