I am 4 1/2 weeks out. I woke up this morning and weighed myself and have gained 6 pounds since Wednesday. How is this possible?

I'm not sure are you tracking what you consume ?

Yes, I have tracked on myfitness pal. I am eating around 800 calories a day and getting about 55 grams of Protein, I only drink Water or unsweetened ice tea with lemon in it.

That's odd very odd. Maybe your retaining water. Ask your pcp

Not to be graphic but are you moving your bowels ok? I know a lot of PPL post op have bm issues and maybe in conjunction with water weight you are blocked up. I wouldn't panic, as long as you're following the plan it has to work!

I was also worried that I would constipated but everyday I've been going.

Happened to me this week. I've been less regular than usual and I was premenstrual.

I have been pounding fiber and am still having trouble. But maybe it's lack of water. I can't seem to get enough in.

It's very weird I'm going twice a day, and I'm also struggling to get water in

What is good to use for constipation??

try using Miralax everyday! Good stuff! :-)

Milk of magnesia works well. Ducolax is good too. Fiber One cereal, berries and Quest bars are good food sources of fiber. I have found that I have to take Miralax a few days in a row before it starts working. Definitely experiment and see what works for you.
