Is anyone else having trouble moving their bowels?

Tmi I know but I feel as though I've tried everything and nothing is helping at all.

the Water is supposed to help but yes we all go thru the Constipation phrases for a while. Activia works.

Horrible problem for me. Until I started eating raw veggies at 3 months out. You should update your stats so we can see how far along you are since surgery, because it is sometimes a guessing game here without information. I will share that I tried every recommended product with no success, and I read where someone has ended up in the ER. Don't let it get to that point. My real relief is the little pink pill, Correctol, and I know you are not supposed to do that, take the laxatives. I choose the laxative over the ER any day. Keep trying different products. I am, at 10 months post sleeve. Best wishes. So sorry!

I added olive oil to my diet and it seems to have helped. I also drink a cup of hot tea.... it does help.

Thanks everyone

Today I will be heading to bjs for the olive oil (which I use to cook with anyway) and activia.

I was sleeved on 5/5/14 and I'm down 62 lbs. I know it could be more but I'm not getting any calories nor enough Protein since I feel full from my bathroom issue and can't eat.

You ladies are awesome thanks for the info.

I had it really bad a couple of weeks after surgery. I took 2 doses of Miralax a day for a couple of days and it got me over the hump. Since then, I take a capsule of Psyllium Husk every morning and at night. It's basically Fiber in a pill. The product is sold at Walmart under the name Equate Fiber Therapy. Keeps me as regular as I figure I'm gonna be, considering that we use up most of what we take in these days. Also, you MUST drink at least 64 oz of Fluid per day. If you don't, Constipation can occur. I did some research when I had my problem, and it seems that most constipation products revolve around the same thing....(sorry, this is gross) helping the stool absorb more Water, making it softer and easier to pass. So you have to have the Water in your system to be absorbed. Okay, I gotta go scrub my keyboard with an antiseptic wipe.... Good luck!

      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! 😞
