I have this problem. I was banded Jan. 30, 2012 and didn't have this problem until recently hitting the green zone. I have been 7 days between bm's. I have tried miralax but it just makes me really gassy and cramp.

If it has been 2 or 3 days I will drink a cup of coffee. Usually within the hour I go. Sometimes before I finish my cup!! Lol.

I just bought the Vita gummies. I will see how that goes.

Milk of magnesia works wonders for me. i have a little pink cup full in the morning when i am filling a bit "off". After i have my morning coffee things seem to be "moving" right along just fine and dandy.

Get your Fluid in! Drink as close to 1 gallon a day as possible. Then use Ex-Lax chocolates.

Guess this is one time in life being lactose intolerant is a good thing. If I need to get things moving, a small cup of milk gets the bowels working!

8 ounces of prune juice every morning does it for me. It's good and good for me.

I have NEVER in my life had a problem with constipation... Until now. I like a lot of these suggestions as three correctol every few days just seems, IDK, like too much.

The same here with milk of magnesium. The Decaf coffee loosens everything up and all is okay.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
