I'd watch the cumulative sugar content and stay within your guidelines, but why not?

That's great amount of Protein for dried fruit. If you soak them in warm Water for a few minutes that will help the stool pass quicker

I'm confused. I checked My Fitness Pal and found no dried prunes with more than 1 gram of Protein ????

All have well over 20+ grams of carbs, however. Are you sure you aren't getting the 2 confused?

I found Smooth Move tea effective in helping with Constipation. Also be sure you are drinking plenty of Water.

Sorry I got confuse with sugar, no Protein the only reason I was eating it was for Constipation, but they don't work. I only had 2 not the all serving size, which contains 20gr of sugar.

Yes gentle move is the only thing that help, I'm using it only every other day. Driving lots of Water.

I eat prunes. They aren't the best choice, but I think they do work. The thing about Constipation, and after eight months, I feel like an expert, is that no one remedy will work all the time. At least not for me. Nothing works all the time. Personally, I like Smooth Move tea. But it is only for "occasional constipation."

Prunes, which are also known as "dried plums," have no added sugar. I'd check with someone on your surgical team first, but if they say yes, I'd start with one prune. Then, I would move up to two, etc. See what happens. I think the best thing for constipation is drinking lots of Water. I have become very good at this.

Thank you! I do drink but if I drink too much Water then I can't eat! My stomach is very small, I get nauseated if I drink too much, I try my best to get 64oz a day!

I try dulcolax I was so sick, dizzy etc

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
