Thank you so much

 are you constipated? You can take a stool softener and that would help I also think you can take like mylanta but not sure. Lot of help aren't I? I have the exact oppisite problem from you. I go way to much.

I hope You start to feel better!

yep...can't go. first 2 days home I had the "runs" now  since Tuesday nada I feel ikky. my energy isn't Perfect but I feel 1000% better compared to last week

I would def take it easy and let your body fully recover from the tramu it just endured. I am 7mths out and I had no energy till month 4. Thats when I started doing Zumba. I started once a week and now I do it 3 times a week for the full hour. I am down 130lbs and its mostly from the change in food portions and choices that I make now. When I first got  home from the hospital i was on fluids only. When I tried to adjust from liquids to soft food it was a trial and error effort. i enjoy more food choices now then at the beginnng of the process. I feel like if you can survive the first month you will do great. I felt like this surgery not only affected me physically but also mentally and I made sure i have a counselor that I see monthly to help me get use to the new me. Just take one day at a time and everything will fall into place.  good luck and I am def here if you have any questions....

My doc prescribed dulcolax or something like that for constipation and sent it home with me. I never needed it, but it was fine to take.

I've had the same problem. My surgeon suggested Milk of Magnesia. It works!   :-)

Hope things get back to normal for you soon!
