So I have been doing Protein non stop and it's worked out great. I am down 62 pounds. But now I am facing taking a laxative every 3 days to have a bowel movement.

Does anyone have any recommendation for Fiber that won't throw off my weight loss?

Thank you

I was told to take benefiber 3 x day, and i put it in sunsweet light prune juice, which adds more fiber, but if loose stool to back off. I try to take it 2 x day, but sometimes I do need the Miralax. good luck

fruit and dark green leafy veg, do a meatless day once a week and use Beans for Protein, prunes, prune juice, flax powder, psyllium, Smooth Move tea, miralax, ducolax, milk of magnesia, colace, black coffee, 1 tsp epsom salt dissolved in 4ounces of grapefruit juice. It really depends on what your body chemistry reacts to

I was taking 2 senna-s every night and it was working fine. For me it worked more like a softener then a laxative.The last time i saw my doctor she recomended that i just start eating prunes. That way i was getting in fruit too! I eat one prune every night and it has been works great! They taste kind of gross, but if you like raisans then they are like the same thing.

      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! 😞
