Mag citrate. Senokot&MOM. Suppository? But increasing Fiber is better than training your system to rely on laxatives. Fiber gummies or chewable. I lace my crystal light with fiber powder.

Wish you all the best!

I used of those as well and nothing....finally I used suppositories and it worked. It took me making sure I was getting in At least 64 oz of flluids to get some relief. My surgeon was very clear after my post op appt. that all of those colon helpers work by drawing the fluids to that part of our bodies. If we are not drinking enough (and I was not) then these helpers will not work. I honestly felt like I was passing rocks and that is no lie. When I was at 2 month out and drinking Decaf coffee in the morning it helped me lots. Needless to say I drink the decaf coffee daily. For me it is normal to go every two days. Hope this helps you some. Forgive me if it was a bit to graphic. Best Wishes Tina

Fiber is always best but also there is kondremul. It's emulsified mineral oil not a laxative. Just in case you don't want laxative solutions.

Thanks I bought Metamucil Clear and Natural today. The pharmacist said it would probably be best with the gastric sleeve surgery. I ask about the other one, she said you needed to drink a big glass of Water with the kondremul. I explained I couldnt hold over about 2 or 3 oz. so she told me the Metamucil would probably be better. We will see if not I will get the other one. I am seeing alot about skinny fiber. I don't know nothing about it other than you can take it with gastric sleeve surgery, its expensive and suppose to help with weight loss.

I have that Metamucil clear and natural and I like it. I mix it into the last few swallows of my g2 and it doesn't throw the taste off at all. Works good too.

The MOM didn't work by itself for me but when I took that and prune juice for two days straight it worked. I only did about 4 oz of prune juice and 1 tablespoon twice a day and finally I was able to make something happen.

I know you were looking for a cleanse, but for getting fiber my doctor suggested chia seeds. Like the ones used on chia pets. Lol! They are a good source of fiber, natural, and go well in smoothies with a scoop of Protein too!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
