I switched from gummies to the Fiber choice sugar free tabs. They work great. Taste like the chewy sweet tarts. I've been toying around with what will work and was really worried leading up to the last movement. Everything was perfect. ( a nice change from the beast last week). I am sticking with 2 tabs during the day.

Glad you have found a good solution. Might work for others too.

I use Nopalina. It has Canadian flax seed,psyllium husk,wheat bran, oat bran, edible cactus,senna leaves, apple extract,orange extract, pineapple extract,and grapefruit extract.

Says it provides Omega 3, 6 and 9

it has worked for me so far. It keeps me regular. I found it at whole foods and Im sure you can find it on line.

It is now 10 days for me and I am 9 days post op. i have taking Miralax and Milk of Mag.. No go.. I am at the point that I am starting to kinda worry. I know I have been doing a lot of liquids but the doc now has me on soft foods since Monday. Going to my first post op appointment Friday, so I hope it happens before.

You may need to try a suppository or enema

Sometimes that's what it takes to get ya started

A serving of Fiber One Cereal every day really helps me. It has a lot of insoluble fiber. The soluble fiber supplements don't do me any good anymore.

I like eating grape nuts in my Greek yogurt

It seems to help but I still suffer

I think I will try more things like y'all have suggested

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
