No bowel movement
About 14 weeks post op. Weight loss very slow but moving in the right direction so must not grumble. But my bowels have not worked since the op. Not once have I been to the toilet without assistance in one form or another. Even ended up in hospital at one stage with compact poop. I've done everything I have been told. More water. More fiber. More exercise. Laxatives. Enemas. Milk of magnesia. Fruit juice. Prunes. Olive oil. Give me any advice you have. Nothing at all has successfully started a normal movement. I have now ended up with tearing. Piles brushing from excavating lol. Well not lol really HELLLLP XXXXXX

Forbidden food
I've lost 20lbs in 6 weeks I'm so happy with the loss. But have had no issues with any food even spices. Which is great. But I don't know my food limit. I've never thrown up or anything. I guess my underlying question is am I going to stretch my new tiny stomach. I can easy eat two weetabix or around 4oz of food no problem. Other people seem to be having much smaller portions xxx

Forbidden food
So lots of people are saying certain foods don't sit well with them or they only manage 2oz. Well I have tried loads of different foods and nothing bad has happened also I can eat way more than 2oz and still nothing happens. I'm beginning to think the surgery was fake and they just knocked me out and woke me up again. Is this normal.

5 week post op diet advice
Hi. I'm five weeks post op. Can anyone check my diet and see if it's anywhere like correct. I'm only loosing 1.5lbs a week. Okay so breakfast....one egg white with chicken.. Snack milk... Lunch chicken and broccoli... Snack yogurt.... Dinner.. Fish and mashed Brussel sprouts.... Snack milk.... Plenty of water throughout the day. Supper... Protein yogurt... Is this correct. All sizes of meals would fit in a ramakin dish and come to about 700 calories per day. Should I be loosing more. Or eating more. Or am I about right. Thanks in advance for your help
