My NUT has me taking prune juice at bedtime. Also, Walgreens carries the Smooth Move Tea, but the local stores did not have it. I ordered it online and it arrived in 4 days. Yes, it works, and they have several different flavors.

Metamucil and a good quality pro-biotic worked for me.

I also took some Colace when things were really difficult - that was the only thing that helped me when I wasn't eating veggies.

Once I started eating more veggies, things got moving a little better and was able to stop the Colace. I still take the Metamucil and probiotic every day.

I spent 8 hrs in the ER yesterday to remove the impacted stool. Extremely painful! I am sore and exhausted. How that never happens again! Taking Miralax and Colace every day now. I pulled stool the size of lemons out of me.

Poor Laura!

I was training a gerbil to use a flashlight and a pick axe!!!

That was by far, the worst part of my recovery...

Yes, good old milk of magnesia can be used. It's awesome and so is the warm prune juice.

      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! 😞
