I've been trying to make the changes needed to be successful with this surgery even though my surgery date is not until 8/9/11. So anyway... I bought a Magic Bullet which I love and the GNC Gold Standard whey powder in French vanilla. I mix it with a banana, lactose free milk and ice. Totally loving these shakes. I've also tried to increase my Protein in other areas such as eating lean meats and cottage cheese. Now here's my problem.... I HAVEN'T POOPED IN 3 DAYS!!! What in the world is going on here? I know you guys are the experts on this stuff and I need some help. What am I doing wrong? I really want to poop.

Get you some Miralax, this stuff will get you moving. . . wow your doing really great. . . keep up the fabulous work. . and like previous posters have said your lacking Fiber. . . your not doing anything wrong, increase your Water and get some miralax (in the pharmacy dept of walmart)

i also love benefiber and also there is an herbal tea u can get called "smooth move" and that REALLY works fast. i get it at target or the local super market it is in with the herbal teas.

Ditto that that's very little Fiber, but banana is binding (and full of carbs/sugars). Before adding a supplement, I'd nix the banana and try something else in your shakes. There are a lot of recipes on here.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
