I had gastric bypass in february 2018 and i'm having difficulties in eating enough calories does anyone have any suggestions on how to get more ? i eat a lot of chicken breast and Protein puddings and Protein Shakes

I use Miralax. Wow good for u on taking mineral oil. I heard that was really nasty.

Same here! I also have been taking Benefiber since, and it has made things normal.

I didnt go until the 8th day and its was a rocky situation if you know what i mean, i would start stool softeners ASAP, I continued to take them daily for about 6 week until everything got back to normal so to speak.

Back in my youth, yeah I do remember back then ,my Mama made a little item called No Bake Cookies. It had oatmeal, Peanut Butter and butter and cocoa in a hot sugary base, dropped on a buttered cookie sheet and left to cool. Oh I loved them little critters and was known to Filch,them before they,cooled out. Only took 4 or 5 and then I'd be in the bathroom crying,because they went right through me. She might as well used exlax instead of cocoa from the misery I went through. Did I learn my lesson? Well not too good, I thought maybe it was a bad batch so I had to inspect them a few more times before it sunk n it. Now 1. I'm allergic to chocolate and 2, it would be the last thing needed on a bariatric diet but I remember it well. PS cooked oatmeal also has a laxative effect.

It took me a good week...

Where are you located?
Food based items you can try are
Senna tea, chicory root drink (often called coffee alternative ), sugar alternatives (splenda, stevia), prune juice basically any laxative effect inducing food you can think of

Thank you i dont think we have that here

is it normal to be so irritated and have a low spirit at day 5 after gastric bypass, btw i had to take a long travel home with airplane.?
