Question:
Bowel Movement
I have a resolve to my question pertaining to post op bowel movement. Dr. Jean-Baptiste is amazing. Prior to surgery, I had to fast w/liquids for 1 day, the next day was liquids w/citrate of magnesium for breakfast. It was the most unbearable thing to enter my body, and it was grape flavored. I am now 5 dys post op & doing lovely. I just began a full liquid diet today, nonfat milk w/protein powder, sugar free pudding, yogurt, etc. My bowel movement was the same as it after I drank the Citrate. Anyone who is constipated post op, it is probably due to the Percocet or Oxecodone. Percocet is fanominously known for causing constipation. I had no pain; irgo, I had no need for pain medication. I had a tremendously blessed surgery and recovery, Bypass chick. — bypasschick (posted on March 15, 2008)

Congratulations on your surgery, first off. And then, thanks for the info
re: resolving your constipation problem. I am 7 months post-op so have no
problems in that area but I am sure someone newly post-op or pre-op will
benefit from your comments. Just one thing, could you please check your
spelling before posting? Perhaps it is just that you are not a good
typist. By the way, it is spelled "ergo" not "irgo."
"Oxycodone" "famously" and not
"fanominously." Maybe English is not your first language. I
don't mean to be critical or nasty, it is just that I am amazed at how
poorly Americans spell! Good luck with your recovery. You will be amazed
at how marvelous you will feel, though it is not an easy journey.

Gretchen...Congrats on having everything go so smoothly. Many that are
considering surgery love to hear the positive, as the negatives tend to be
very prevalent with this type of surgery. I hope that things continue to
go along well for you as your new body emerges as well as your new life!
Hugs and best wishes. Now....to comment on the person that felt the
arrogant need to offer criticism regarding your spelling errors. Well,
here's where we need to practice some tolerance and understand that not
everyone sits around with their dictionary in hand checking things before
sending them off. In fact, there isn't spell check with the venue I'm
using to post right now, and I'm not concerned at all about whether or not
my spelling is correct...and I'm certainly not worried about my grammer.
In fact, I think it's down right rude to even tell someone that was just
trying to get a positive message across to everyone, that they were
inaccurate or perhaps this wasn't even "their first language".
So Gretchen....you tell your story...and you do it the way you want...
because most intelligent people get the gist, and haven't a care in the
world as to whether or not you SPELLED it correctly. We're smart enough to
figure it out for ourselves. Once again....hugs and continued success!.

Congratulations on your success! And by the way, I agree completely with
Cheryl. Some people are rude.
My surgery is set for Monday, March 17 and I'm so excited although I
haven't enjoyed the liquid diet and bowel prep. I know it will be so worth
it.
Best of luck and take care,
Michelle Hinton

There are many of use that make post that have spelling errors, so don't
feel alone. I use to take the time to double check everything, but I find
a few spelling werrors allow me to reply to more inquires. I had the same
stuff before surgery and I actually had diearia for about two weeks after.
Glad you are doing well and let us know how your weight loss goes.

I wonder if Allison has proof read her profile. I found 3 errors. I am
pre-op for bypass and have been lurking on here for a few months. My
surgery is March 25 and I find that 98% of the people that respond here are
positive and truly want to help others. I feel since being here I am more
knowledgeable that I was before and I am thankful for that. Wish everyone
could be positive because we all need each other. I hope that the negative
responses don't scare people away. Thanks for posting your suggestions. Bev

Gretchen - Congrats on your achievement...(did I spell that right?) You
are doing just marvelous darling and don't pay any attention to the nasty
one more thing comment.... Didn't know we were having a spelling quiz.
Guess some people are just not busy enough and if we were all perfect we
wouldn't be emailing each other in the first place. If you get my drift.
:)
Anyway, keep up the good work and follow what they tell you and you will
continue to do just great.
