I wanted something that would re-set my own system so I started to use Align probiotic capsules. I use one a day and it has made a huge difference for me. The miralax etc work well for emergencies, but ideally we'd do something that keeps us happy full time.

I came home and immediately started miralax, then the next day miralax and colace, the third day miralax, colace and milk of magnesia. Was a rough day, but the third day took care of it. Don't wait any longer!

Funny...I just called my surgeon about this. He said for the long term to do benefiber every day, but to get things moving to use a stool softener. I had been using miralax and colace together before calling him and he said he would prefer me not to use the miralax. Weird because I thought that was pretty safe. He said it was ok to continue the colace and add benefiber. I wish these doctors could all get together and make their minds up on a single recommendation! LOL

      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! 😞
