Oh the constipation - what a fun subject (4 wks post op)
Jan 11, 2011
As I was doing a search on OH about others with similar plugged up status....oh the horror of what I was reading!! Please don't ever make it so I have to lie down and dig out my own......I am constipated. I've never been constipated before. This is NOT fun!! And the flared up hemroids (thanks to having 3 babies....those unfortunely are nothing new to me). I'm still not back on track to being regular.....hoping this mirade of pills that I'm taking helps!! I'm starting talking two stool softeners at night before bed....I try to take fibercon (if I have room left over in my pouch) after dinner....and last but not least....I'm adding real food (minus hight is sugar) back into my diet.
The first 3 weeks after surgery.....it was either water or protein....that was it in my diet......NOT ANY MORE!!! Don't get me wrong...I'm still getting all my protien (my body fortress shakes have 26 g per scoop twice a day...and I'm at 52 grams....the other 10....peice of cake with real food through out the day). I hope having normal food will help my plumbing out....because this......I can't handle this!!
I can handle not going every day.....or even going every 2-3 days....but the once a week......not working.....not working at all......to be continued.....
