Help!!! Does anyone have a remedy for severe Constipation. I've never had it in the past and really dont know what to take or how to treat it. RNY 7/16/03

I use Miralax. I was using it every day till I felt better and I still use it twice a week. Only way I will stay regular.

White stool could signal a liver issue, I would call your surgeon.

If you're having 2 or more Protein shakes, yogurts and chicken... your stole can appear to be white.

If its your liver it will be black.

Thanks everybody. I do believe one of my issues may be not taking in enough Water. I have to do better with that. And since I just got on the soft solids, I've been really enjoying the low fat cheese sticks which may also be causing the constipation....I see my surgeon tomorrow for my 1mth post op.

I was told that Constipation is normal... I might not be tho and to expect not to go every day until I take in more food. My Dr said they don't get concerned about it until the patients go beyond 10 with no BM. I think I went to 7 or 8 days. I felt horrible too. It was like I was filled with toxins that made me fill sick and tired.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
