Angry Minor Vent

yesterday i was able to eat an entire breakfast sandwich. 1 egg, 1 slice of cheese, 2 bacons, and a whole english muffin. havent been able to do that ever so you can imagine how freaked out i was. i wasnt uncomfortable but i was full. and i thought, DAMMIT. IT'S STRETCHED OUT! and i went to bed sad because i thought for sure this was it. today for dinner i tried to have the same and i cant even finish half. i feel like i am going to bust at the seams. WTH??? I cant take it. I need consistency

that was my minor vent.

thank you and good night.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I do the same thing at times. I dont know why or what does it but it just does. That is one reason I wont post what I eat on a daily basis because sometimes its almost nothing and then I can eat a whole hotdog. So...... im not any help but dont feel your alone because your not. Kitty posted somthing to this sort yesterday.

Kenya,

What I found was the stool itself was to hard at the end so I got some Fleet suppositores. I found If I use them every 3 days it makes it much easier to come on with things. My Dr is allowing me to use Dulcolax if necessary. So between the two of them things are ok but I still have to work at it somtimes. The Dulcolax I only use once a week if necessary. To use the fleet I insert 2. I do that make sure at least one has gotten to where it needs to be. Then I lay down for a bit only to not have the urge. They work pretty fast. Within a hour im in much better shape. You can try this for a while the go back to the Miralax if necessary. This is one downfall to the surgery for sure. My cousin has the opposite problem. I told her I would trade her anyday. I have gotten so backed up so to speak it was making me sick to even drink water a couple of times. That is when they told me to get the Fleet. Its cheap. Its just Glycerin and they more or less melt and make it much easier to move.

i have some childrens glycerin suppositories. i used those when i first came home. i might go back to them. i think i might be a ittle resistant to mirilax at this point LOL> i mean its been a year and it has worked next day faithfully. maybe i need fiber??? i will ask my surgeon. thanks for the ideas.

have you tried another dose? I got so bad before I tried it....my whole lower back was in severe pain........almost had DDH take me to the hospital....I don't seem to fight it as bad now...but I'm avoiding sugar alcohols...that REALLY seems to upset me in the opposite direction........

salad never really cleaned me out. i was eating it every day for like 3 months and nothing. it kept me regular which was every other day. but nothing spectacular. i might need to adjust what i am eating. if i eat granola i should have sald or veggies or something. now that i think about it i havent really had veggies in awhile
