Constipation with protein shakes?

I am currently replacing at least one of my meals with protein shakes as I await my paperwork to be submitted to the insurance company. I have found over the past week that I have been having constipation issues since beginning the protein shakes. I drink at least 70 oz of H2O per day and exercise....is this normal?:lol:

I did'nt really have that problem but some people do. I would buy some benefiber unflavored fiber and add it to your water, drinks etc. I am post op on and just moved to full liquids. I am less regular than normal but I think that's becuase I don't have anything solid going in. I have been adding fiber to my soups and it is helping.

Go get you some fiber gummies, taste like gummie bears (walgreens $11.99)and chew two each morning. You will go like clock work. i never start the day without mine.

I had the same problem. I use benefiber unflavored also. I add it to my crystal light, plain water & protein drinks. It should do the trick.
