I was sleeved on 09/02/14. Constipation was the worst part for me especially since before the surgery I would go twice a day. I used the miralax and still didn't work as I expected it too, then ate prunes still. But with time it goes back to normal buy it really takes a few months, annoying buy true. As far as the slowing down with the weight loss. It also happened to me for about a month but it continued after and has been happening. Know that after 3 months you will lose less every month. Not as much as in the beginning. Day of surgery I weighed 235 I'm 160 today.
