The painkillers, Tylenol #3, Tramadol, etc., are constipating. Dehydration will make you constipated, too. Milk of Magnesia and adding Fiber helps. I have been using Fiber Smart, a clear fiber that is not wheat based, since I'm gluten intolerant. I also take Probiotics and try to eat plain Chobani greek yogurt mixed with Protein Powder and add the fiber.

I'm lactose intolerant, but the Isopure and Bariatric Advantage don't seem to bother me. I mix them in vanilla unsweetened almond milk with my immersion blender. Sometimes, I add the powdered Peanut Butter to the dutch chocolate Isopure. It adds Protein, too. Have you tried the chewable Lactaid pills before drinking your shakes? I take them if I'm having cottage cheese with fruit.< /p>

My surgery was June 18th. My beginning weight last August was 272. My weight at surgery was 258 and at 6 wks out, I am weighing 233 lbs. I'm taking in around 1000 cal a day, with minimum 70 gms of Protein and 70 oz of liquids, which is hard. I have found that fish or shrimp are really easy on my stomach and satisfying. I'm also gluten free due to gluten intolerance for the past 3 years. I'm not exercising like I should, but school starts soon and I'll be walking like crazy. My biggest problem is not drinking while eating. A friend reminded me last night that it will make me eat more and lose less weight, so I'm starting over today with that.

How are you able to get 1000 calories? I can not seen to get over 650-700 each day.
I sometimes have a tsp of olive oil mayo with my meat, a sprinkling (1/6 c.) of grated cheese, or 1/4 of an avocado to a meal so I can have some good fats. I love Tex-Mex food, so my big splurge is to have 6 corn tortilla chips for a snack.< /p>
I am on 3 meals a day plus 1-2 small Snacks a day, with usually 1 of those being a Protein shake or 1/2 a Qwest bar.
