Milk of Magnesium works for me in a relatively short period of time . My family doctor suggested not to take the psyllium capsules at all cuz they have a tendency to expand the stomach - so I quit that right away, I want to keep my stomach small if I can.

Microwave oatmeal with dried flavored cranberries and 30 cal. for 8 oz. almond milk unflavored - yummy!!

WAY TO GO!!!!! BOTH OF YOU!! CONGRATS!!! not an easy task at all.

And my question to her would be and who MADE her GOD'S spokeswoman? God is the one who healed people who were sick or disabled I believe God wants us to live life to the fullest and if this surgery makes this possible then so be it. It is not for us to question whether this is what God intended or not. This is after all a life saving surgery for some of us obese people. Without this surgery I most definately would have been disabled and unable to work. Now I am living my life to the fullest at age 58 years old of all things. Imagine that!!! And loving every minute of it.

I take 3 stool softeners a day for constipation - works great for me!! Hope this helps!!

what about coconut palm sugar - I saw this mentioned on Dr. Oz - is low glycemic - suppose to help stop blood sugar spikes - I got some at festival foods - around $6.00 a pkg. measures just like sugar. Its natural so shouldn't have the side effects artificial sweetners have I guess. Hope this helps.

Excellent advice I agree whole heartedly!!!

I was told by my doctor that beef jerky should be a go to snack after I had completed all the food phases.

What about her 16yr old daughter? Couldn't she possibly stay at ur house while you are in the hospital and take care of your toddler. Maybe she could stay with you after surgery to help you with your daughter, after all she is defintely old enough to babysit right? could this be a solution to ur problem. I sure hope this helps!!

I work at a sportings goods store and in the exercise equipment section we sell something called monkey butt powder for that specific reason - to help with chafing hen exercising or working out. Hope this helps!!

I think shake them up good wait a few minutes till fizz gone down enuf u can open bottle without it flowing over and let sit for a while.

I wasn't allowed to paint my nails before surgery - I don't know about others. Good luck on your journey!!
