I've looked for it at walmart with no luck. Anywhere else it's sold? -

I do fiber twice a day in coffee. Milk of magnesia 3 days a week and then an enema if I go past 7 days. I'm out of ideas! -

Nope, no stress. I'm not sure what's up. I talked to doctor last week, I have an enlarged uterus so possibly fibroid. And if it is, they can cause constipation. Fingers crossed I get answers Friday. Going for testing. I have been having to -tmi warning- manually remove stool for weeks now. -

Well I am back to nothing works. 2000cc water day, couple hrs on treadmill 4 days a week, fiber added... Even enemas no longer work. Miserable -
My weight loss has been slower than others but has been steady. Even when scale doesn't move, clothes fit looser. Try not to compare and just enjoy the process. I think you've done well! I've had to work on increasing calories and water and exercise more. This has increased my results. Good luck!

Down 40 lbs and feeling great! Sleeved 12/16. Back at work and wow what a difference. Updates!!!

Stalled..So frustrating
cprince1975 replied to fortmac1982's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had these stalls doin Atkins, weight watchers, etc. your body is adjusting. They do go away. But they are a major pain! Hang in there. -

protein shakes make me gag. HELP!
cprince1975 replied to bellarae's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I tried a new thing today. I did 1 cup milk, 1 scoop unjury vanilla protein powder, 1 tsp vanilla flavoring, and 2 tbsp great value natural pb. Used a handful of ice and blended. Tastes like pb shake. Can def do this!!! And was surprised how little sugar was in pb. Less than in my premixed shakes. -

I stalled at 2 weeks out too. Lasted for almost 2 weeks but then dropped 4 lbs. and have been steadily losing since. I'm at 4 weeks and have lost 30.4 lbs!!! Feel great. Don't fret because weight loss will continue -
Popcorn dangerous after WLS?
cprince1975 replied to FieryRed's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It's on the slider list I got from my nut. Haven't had yet because I'm still purée for 2 more weeks but nice to know I can have a little while cuddling up with movie with the hubby if I want to. -
Omg Yopa is the best! 18 gr protein too
cprince1975 replied to XXShelXX's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm def putting this on my list!!! Thanks for posting -
M still purée for 2 more weeks but I'm craving a salad so bad!!! Of all things, yes a salad. How far out post op were you able to tolerate raw veggies?
-
My nut said it's everybody's first craving. Said it's the crunchy we miss.
-
Good here! Lost 24 lbs and feel wonderful! Still on purée and doing well. Getting easier to get fluids in. Still short of the goal but easier to sip.

Thoroughly unscientific poll
cprince1975 replied to GotItDoneInHarlem's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My docs goal for me was 160. I'd like to see 150. -
Def sounds like I will need to ask my nut when they suggest adding veggies back. My husband can't believe it's the one thing I'm craving.
-
Yes!!! I just want a nice crunchy salad! LOL. Thanks for the reply. 4 more weeks but I will make it.

Just spoke to my doc abt this today. He said key is water but I can add fiber such as fiber one or miralax to help. I went 12 days this last time and after several doses laxative finally got a fleets enema. Gonna try the miralax. Good luck! -
Bought a water bottle that I can put fruit in to infuse. It's helped me. I'm not a crystal light fan. Use strawberries, cucumber, lemon, lime. Good luck!!!

cprince1975 replied to bellarae's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I had the same problem!!! I did however drink carnation sugar free vanilla my doctor suggested. And I can add my vanilla protein powder to cold coffee, milk, ice, and a sprinkle pumpkin pie spice. I also like Atkins cafe Carmel. Good luck. These have been the hardest part other than vitamins. Can't stand them post op. Make me vomit also -
HELP! Carnation instant breakfast?
cprince1975 replied to nesa83's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I drink the cib sugar free vanilla. My doc wanted me to drink these daily. They are tasty to me and I have so much trouble with protein shakes.. Gotta get it somewhere!
