    Thanks for the comment. I am just so frustrated... U being in souther cali already takes away most of the difficulty I find. Flights (I can find cheap) then hotels (not as cheap) and then the fill charge (cant help that)....

    This is a "sensitive" topic yes, but as an RN I have no shame with this and will tell u honestly what I have experienced with this. I was banded Jan 11 and was very (very) able to use the restroom throughout my liquid diet for the 3 weeks post-op, however once solids were started again it took about 2-3 weeks for me to become regular again. I paniced a little because I have never had any issues with poop before and felt awefullll! I took colace, metamucil and even glycerin suppositories when I coulnt be patient any longer. But like I said this was a temporary issue with me after solids were re-introduced which really makes perfect sense if you think about it.... if only liquids are going in, it cant become firm enough to cause you problems with constipation can it? However when solids start again, your body has to refamiliarize itself with now adding fluid to stool again in order for your body to eliminate it with ease (which it hasnt had to do for quite some time). Be patient with it and prepared yes. Have your "tool belt" with fix-its ready to go if you find yourself struggling but dont panic, it too will pass! *PUNN INTENDED* PS Just had my first fill on Mar 5th and the same problem came with the 72hr liquid diet post fill then into solids again, but has since resolved as well. Good luck!!
