Constipation?



Recommended Posts

Is anyone else experiencing bad Constipation? Also, sometimes my stools are very light in color almost white. I am on vacation in the caribbean right now, can not wait to get back to the states so I can call my DR. I'm concerned.....

How far out are you? Constipation is really normal for the process though. I've not seen stools almost white though, it all depends on what you're eating.

I have to take Exlax multiple days in a row to get any response at all. To some degree, most of us have a problem with this, though how we intervene is different.

Maybe try to get a Fleets enema?

I just read on another post on here that someone said that adding 500-800mg of Magnesium plus 2 Fiber gummies really helps with that. They said that they were finally regular and able to stop the Miralax.

Ask doc to check for blocked bike duct. Dr oz had special on poop coloring problems.

      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! 😞
