Have you asked your surgeon what to take? I heard in one of my pre-op classes that some cold remedies (including Vitamins and herbs) can interfere with anesthesia. So be careful! I'm praying you get better before surgery.

Hey guys. I have been super busy and haven't been able to he on here but when I read this. I had to reply. I too am having the same Constipation issues. My surgeon did tell me to try Miralax. I have only used it once but it worked. He said this was gentler than milk of magnesia. So he wanted me to do that instead.

Well hello lady!! Yeah, we've totally been backed up. Except I finally got to go today. Lol. I'll try miralax in my drinks tomorrow and see if it'll keep me regular. Otherwise I'm popping the stool softeners.

I have to do the whole miralax thing next Tuesday... but I'd love to just have a good poop before then! Haha. Maybe I'll hit up Walgreens tomorrow and see what they recommend.

I took colace all through my pregnancy and it helped me tremendously. Also, are you getting enough Water? I know we are on the 'quids but I have to ask. Lol.

Hubby got me the kind that dissolves in Water and was totally tasteless. So it seemed like just regular water. So that Was good. Today was the first day feeling backed up. I'm sure it won't be the last but trying to get all the water in too

I'm drinking a shit ton of liquids. Lots. Lots n lots. Did I mention I'm drinking lots? I'm peeing constantly too. And it's practically clear like Water too.

I finally figured out how to log crap on MFP tonight so I'm feeling accomplished. But for reals, my head hunger is raging and it's very hard for me right now Bc I think the little bit of Protein n veggies I'm allowed just whets my appetite for more food. And I know it's in my head but it's so hard. Grrrr

      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.

      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! 😞
