I'm not allowed to take any tablets Kim, how else can I do it? I haven't gone in 6 days!!!

Auntie Crystal...I like it. Never say never, stranger things have happened haha.

Thanks for your well wishes, I seriously cannot wait to announce it to you all next year (all being well) xxx

 

[JennaMeri]

Aww that's fab!! When are you thinking of trying for one?? My surgeon said 12 months so it'll be start of Feb next year for us!!! We are so broody just now, my other half is worse than me haha!! X

My surgeon hasn't said anything about it. Though to be honest we stopped NOT trying about 2 years ago. I don't have a cycle at all so it won't happen til I either lose a bunch more or we get some additional help. :/
Though atleast if you have to wait a while you can concentrate more on you!

I've been taking senna max. I only do it once a week, but if I didn't do that I still wouldn't have gone... They work well. I take em at night and by 9 the next morning I've gone twice. Then again I'm not constipated... as it's basically diarrhoea both times. But the senna is easy on the stomach as well.

Mine came off Post op day 2 on the Fri morning - bloody things x

 

[slimpip]

My hospital told me to take them off before I went home. Although I've had 3 weeks of injections, seems excessive to me. I have 3 doses left, wahoo. Is Senna max a tablet though Jenna hun? If so i've been told I can't have it and I don't want to spend more money on prescriptions for something like lactulose. X

Try castor oil for constipation if you cant have tablets

[slimpip]

Oh ok I haven't heard that one before, how do you take it Emma? X

 

[emmahc1975]

Just have a spoonful of it. It is as it sounds though - oily. It's not suitable for everyone but if you cant take tablets. & need to go, its a good old fashioned tried & tested remedy.

Is It worth getting a monthly pre payment thing for prescriptions? I'm going to look into it when tax credits run out in June

 

[slimpip]

I'm not sure it'd be worth it overall hun cos after I finish on the fast tabs (4 months) and vitamin drops (6 weeks) then I shouldn't be getting anything on prescription unless I need it. I need to ask at the 6 week check up what I need going forward, I know about the 2xdaily vitamins but what about b12 etc, I need to find out.

As sod's law would have it, I've just 'been' to the loo. Thanks goodness, perhaps my body is just going to be one who only goes once or twice a week? Who knows, X

lol... I was told to make sure to keep them on for the hour drive home, but that I could take them off any time after that. So I did.

Why were you told you couldn't have tablets? There is a senna liquid! Though Senna Max is a tablet. You don't need a script for the liquid.

You can buy epsom salts from the chemist or even tesco, its cystalline and you mix with hot water then drink, if you are very brave on its own I would mix with some form of juice as it is quite bitter, and vit c you can use the fizzy ones if you can cope with them or maybe liquid version for kids, thing is when you take too much you know because you will get rapid results and the runs briefly. but definitely a clear out.
old fashioned remedies but they work

 

[slimpip]

Thanks Kim and everyone. Like I said, I did go in the end but feel like it was only the start if you catch my drift. It's weigh in day tomorrow and I'm not at all excited I'll be lucky to scrape 1lb I think.

Today was lush, I was on doggy daycare duty again and I swapped cars with my partner as my new car is still all shiny and smells like plastic so I didn't want mud everywhere haha.I took the dog up to a forestry commision woodland and we literally got lost, enjoyed the sunshine, took in the views of the county all flooded from the top of the hill and walked and walked until the dog was panting like crazy (he's getting on a bit now so don't like to over do it). I think we walked up hills etc for 1.5hrs which I was really pleased with, but I did need a nap after but it's progress I think.

Sweet potato innards mashed up with a little butter and some salmon chowder for tea, stuffed on so little of it but getting used to leaving all my food now. It really doesn't bother me actually, as long as I get to taste everything before I'm full.

I'll report in tomorrow for doomsday weigh in grrrr X
