I'm about 3 months out have lost about 52 pounds but I'm VERY constipated and have to take milk of magnesia just about every day!! I'm drinking a lot of water but still constipated any suggestions??

I add Benefiber to every Water i drink every day to help keep things going. i also eat a full Quest bar every day which is at least 17 grams Fiber. no issues at 8 wks out, but i had problems from weeks 2-3 until i added the Benefiber.

Suppositories !

I eat fruit twice a day in the morning and at night. 1 cup serving twice a day good for regularity. Fruit has fiber. I have frequent regular bowel movements.

There are a few things that are a sure thing for me

Blackberries. Usually mix with plain Fage yogurt and gets everything moving!

GNC Lean shake. Something in that makes me go!

Quest bar - same deal as the GNC shake. God forbid I have 2 days in a row!

Fruit! Fruit! Fruit! Certain fruits are high in natural sugar so some nuts. say not to eat "too much". I love fruit and eat a small portion (including blackberries). They have a stimulants for regular bowel movements. Also, a variety of nuts.

Good luck!

1/2 capful of Miralax in one (only one) cup of coffee each morning and my issues have been gone for the past month and a half!

laxatives every day can cause serious issues.

better to manage with food. try food high in fiber.. oatmeal, sweet potatoes, dried fruit, lentils, hummus, broccoli, carrots, chia seeds.

i take a food based fiber supplement called konjac root. fiber supplements like benefiber can actually make some people worse, because they draw Water out into the bowel.

Probiotics also help, and make sure you are getting in all your water.
