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.

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.
