Thanks, Candy. Had to come off the pain meds, severe constipation.

I would but not going is worse than not sleeping. So stopping the heavy duty meds.

Had the enema, they haven't offered Miralax. I suspect the best I could do is prune juice.

But it seems much better today and have stool softeners at home.

Glad to hear the worst part is behind you. Not sleeping sucks though... Glad you found a dietician that works with you - I'd ask if i can talk to her even after you get out - she may be accomodating!

I hurt my back the other day, sciatica like I had surgery for 13 years ago... I DON'T NEED THIS!! I empathize with you...

It's a thought but she is on the hospital staff. Not sure how that would work.

Back pain is the pits...my weight loss surgery was a walk in the park compared to this.
