    If you suffer from constipation like I do (I'm 2 months post op), may I suggest taking a stool softener every day, Benefiber with your fluids, and a SQUATTY POTTY! The squatty potty has literally changed my life in the matter of a couple of days! "We're On This Journey Together!"

    Which Calcium citrate do you all take? I take the strawberry Chewy Bite one by Bariatric Advantage. I take 1000mg a day (2 chewy bites) and I loooooove them but they are expensive. They are almost $40 a bag of 90 chews. I need a cheaper option! What do you all take and do you like it? I prefer a chewable. "We're On This Journey Together!"

    Calcium Citrate Question

    cuteNATL replied to cuteNATL's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I wish I could take those! But I have to take a calcium citrate. Those are a Calcium Carbonate.. Even though I have no earthly idea what the difference is Lolololol @@ResilientMaria "We're On This Journey Together!"

    I put benefiber in almost all of my liquids, I take 2 stool softeners a day, and if I do have stool that's compacted, I use a glycerin suppository "We're On This Journey Together!"

    I'm 2 1/2 months out, all in all almost 50 pounds down, and I'm sooooooo happy with the results so far. The only drawback is the constipation, but other than that, this new like is more than what I could ever dream of.. From a size 26 to a size 16... I'm forever grateful for this second chance!

    I am almost 8 weeks post op, so this was my first Thanksgiving after surgery. I ate enough to be full over the course of an hour and I was satisfied. I just kept looking at everyone like how can you eat all that! ???? ???? ???? ???? How was everyone else's first Thanksgiving after surgery? "We Are All On This Journey Together..."

    Do you think you go more often because you are further out and can take more in...? Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

    I was sleeved on October 3rd....and having trouble getting in all the Protein, liquids, AND experiencing constipation. This is so hard! I have zero appetite and have to force myself to eat. I just take it one day at a time. But I just don't see how I'll be able to get used to this "new normal". HW 262 SW 244 CW 216 Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App

    How Was Your Thanksgiving?

    cuteNATL replied to cuteNATL's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    @@gustavio Awwwwwww poor thing! I bet she was miserable, but it's all worth it. It's just food and we've eaten like this every year we've been living. And there is nothing to feel guilty about. We can have regular food but it's all about portion and getting the Protein in. To not indulge in a little Thanksgiving the real way is inhumane! ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ????

    Constipation?

    Thank you for the encouragement. That makes me feel so much better! "We Are All On This Journey Together..."

    Constipation?

    cuteNATL replied to cuteNATL's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Maybe I should up the dose.. Like maybe 2 stool softeners and 6 tablespoons of benefiber a day to substitute the lack of veggies and fruits I'm used to eating. I also will work on trying to get more veggies in. OMG I never knew it'd be this hard, between just trying to get the liquids in, plus the protein, plus the vitamin supplements, plus the food, it just is impossible to do.
