I was sleeved 6 days ago and although I did have several small stools at the hospital, I hadn't had any since i came home 2 days ago. Today I got up feeling really uncomfortable and bloated and I thought, "If this would I treat it?"  My tummy is too young for fiber supps or a laxative...hmmm...how about some GRAPE JUICE.  enlightenedThat used to run right through my kids. Maybe it will work on me?  Well, I'm glad i wasn't far from the bathroom, cuz 4-oz did the trick!  I think I'll keep my grape juice in the fridge just in case of poop emergencies....

Try warm lemon water 2 times a day (real lemon) It will work, maybe too well

No, my surgeon has put me off all citrus for at least 6 months. And tomato products. It's a little bit of a challenge to find things that don't have tomatoes or citrus.

My first thought would have been prune juice.  It's a bit thick, but maybe add some water.  It's pretty sweet, too.  But I'm strange in that I actually like prunes.  LOL!

I was told by my surgeon that i am allowed miralax dissolved in water for constipation or juice. You may want to enquire about that as well if you can't tolerate the juice.

I'm 6 days postop. My surgeon says NO LAXATIVES of any kind. Dulcolax suppositories and enemas are the only options.
