I feel your pain I'm 2 years post op and still struggle. I have been hospitalized a couple times for it. I recently found using young living essential oils internally really helps. They are approved for internal use and I use 2 drops digize in a capsule with coconut oil melted to fill the capsule once a day. I am actually on a routine and off all prescription laxatives that weren't working very well. I also add 2 drops either lemon, orange, or peppermint to help the burps not be so gross, but I will take gross burps for an hour over the pain of Constipation any day lol. I hope you find what works for you.

Body fortress is the new one I can stomach. 42g Protein per can and they taste good. Buy pre made if you struggle with consistency. Trial and error is the best way unfortunately. GNC will let you return an open container if it's gross with the receipt. I also like one in a black and pink container made for women at GNC but I can't remember what it's called.

Update... 1 year out and things are much better. It was an ulcer followed by 2 more. I switched to only drinking milk for almost 6 months and now I can drink Vitamin waters. Thank you ladies.

Had my Rue-n-y in January. At this point I am able to eat and drink pretty normal. However all my hair is falling out. I went from thick hair to now you can see my scalp and actual bald spots. I am taking Biotin. What else can I do? Thank everyone in advance.

I had a problem with everything I tried to drink. I spent the greater portion of the first 3 months in the hospital. All of the dr's were puzzled and couldn't figure it out. I kept getting ulcers. Then my nutritionist suggested I try cutting out all Water and only drinking milk, so I did and it worked!!!! If you think about it though babies stay hydrated on only milk, so why couldn't I? Anyways I am now 1 yr post op down 98 lbs and have avoided hospitals for 6 months now. I am slowly being able to introduce other liquids but I have found it has to have something I can digest. It may not work for you... But maybe it will. I wish you the best of luck! Things will get better as your body learns what the heck happened and adjusts.

Need help. My body went down to the weight I had been for many years and just stopped. I lost 60lbs in the first 3months and nothing in the next 3 months. How to I overcome this? I have tried bumping up my Protein and how many steps I get each day. I am still only able to eat1/4-1/3 cup of food at each sitting. I still can't drink Water but I stay hydrated on milk 4 cups daily. Any ideas or suggestions? I just want to move a little more. I still have 50 lbs to loose according to my surgeon. Thank you for your time.

That is so awesome. I don't know what it is about those scopes but my pain went away after my scope too. They didn't find anything, but I got better. I hope you continue to get better and feel good again.

The Protein I the most important. If I get at least 80 grams a day I will loose a little. If I get less than 60 I won't loose a thing. Also the protein is what gives you energy and helps prevent Hair loss. I know it can be hard. But I make one shake that is 50 grams of protein and gag it down before I can eat anything else. I take my time and hold my breath but the faster I get done with that the sooner I can eat something yummy like eggs, yogurt, or turkey burger. Those butterball turkey burgers are 31 grams of protein and I can have half for lunch and half for dinner.
Also I have discovered through research that the ones who had to fight to loose anything and took longer, actually kept the weight off. While the ones who's body melted over night ended up gaining most of it back. So that is what keeps me positive for my long term success. It isn't about how fast I loose, so long as it comes off and stays off!!! You can do it just remember the tortious and the hare ????
