I was told to use Miralax and colasce to start, after several days, no joy, was told to try the mag citrate, that made me sick and I lost my mojo, finally was told to try good ol milk of mag, that got things moving! But had the stomach flu the last couple of days....not awesome

Dumb question- is anyone eating ANY fat? I just realized that the last three days, I've consumed ZERO fat. Anyone else? My NUT said fat free/low fat products, but doesn't the body need some fat to absorb some Vitamins?

Maybe I'm over analyzing it this early.....

I think good fat is really important in a diet, although at the moment I am using 0% fat products I hope to move up to full fat as I go along and depending on how well my body tolerates it. This morning I tried 0% fat total yoghurt thinned down with full fat milk and a smidge of honey. I will see how that goes. I would like to be using full fat natural yoghurt, milk, butter etc in the future. My weight issues come from Portion Control and binges but generally through unprocessed good quality food.< /p>

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
