Constipation Issues



Recommended Posts

I have had the same problem since I started soft foods. Never had a problem when on the liquid diet. I took Miralax the other day and it cured the problem in a day. Sure hate taking it all the time though ... I know I wouldn't be able to get a prune down :(

I didn't poo for 21 days. During the time I was on colace, dulcolax, and 2 enemas a day. When i finally pooped I felt amazing. Im still on lactolace and 2 enemas a week. Just to maintain some type of relief.

Omg! 21 days without pooing! You must have been worried. I'll bet you dropped a good number if pounds once you finally did. Did you have to go to your doctor for this?

My Dr suggests Dulcolax and Miralax. I drink a very small amount of the Miralax in my coffee each morning - then on Friday at bedtime I take a dulcolax. It seems to be working pretty well. I am someone who has always had an issue with this though so a week is not a major concern for me! lol

I've been stuck, both on weight and #2. Weight for three weeks and #2 for a week. I drank Smooth Move tea last night and this morning, after #2 decided to evacuate, I lost 4 lbs. Whew! What a relief, in both ways! (Although it was most inconvenient and interrupted my treadmill time with my friend. :/ ) My stomach/intestines were grumbly for a few hours and I didn't feel so great but hey, it worked!

As a post gastric bypass patient I had problems with Constipation for the first time in my life. My doctor recommended The Lady Soma Fiber Cleanse & after 3 days of taking the capsules there was no strain, no stress. Every morning (without fail) I would have a nice bowel movement. It's been 3 months since that experience, & I've gotten my mother using Lady Soma too,

The directions talk about a 15 day cleanse. How many do you take as your daily maintenance dose?

      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! 😞
