That's what's so funny. Before surgery I had IBS, so anything I ate ran right through me. This - I am not used to! Will definitely try the m.o.m. Thanks!

I feel you 100%!! I always had to worry about how food would "hit me" when dining out-now what I'ld pay to go so easily! I'm eating prunes, per my Nut. and drinking fluids and taking Colax at night. I need veggies but my new stomach still can't tolerate them. I've never craved a salad so much in my life! Tomorrow we're flying to Georgia and I pray I feel better by then! JFK airport - not fun!!

Yeah, this is one of the side effects that they don't list on the brochure! First the pain pills impacted me terribly then the lack of Fiber took its toll. I tried the fiber gummies but I was so tired of chewing during that stage (all my supplements were chewable/gummies) that I stopped taking that. I switched to Benefiber and it works great. I just fix it in the morning and use it to take my supplements.

I think I'll try the bene Fiber. I can't keep drinking milk of magnesia very day. Fiber gummies don't seem to help. I'm hoping its worse because of all the meds & codeine cough meds I'm on for bronchitis...

      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! 😞
