Lots of people take milk of magnesia. I can't stomach the thought of that one. I have been taking Miralax powder. You may want to check with your surgeon about what they suggest. Good luck because I know that is a miserable feeling.

I am 5 weeks out and I had been taking amitiza (like a prescription of colace) and then using suppositories which cause issues if used daily. My doctor is now allowing me to start back on metamucil (benefiber).

I will try 1/2 dose tonight. I took it up until liquid pre-op for the past year.

I definitely could use a Water in Water out day for sure.

Call your doctor and get their recommendation first and foremost though. It has calories and carbs and you need to make sure your sleeve is healed before taking it.

Last time I was at the dr I asked if I could take any pills at all...he said if its the size of a baby aspirin. Do you think I could take Correctol pills yet since they are tiny?

I add a teaspoon of benefiber to my Protein shakes. I can't taste it but it does work.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
