what did you take to help with bowel movements

weetabix - cool!!!
okay jachut what is vegemite??????

Its a yeast extract,a little like Marmite or Promite. But its unique. Thick, about the consistency of margarine and completely black. Its a spread, you eat it on toast, or in sandwiches. Most Aussies adore the stuff. Most people from the rest of the world gag on it, or at the very thought of it. You cant describe the flavour. But its very high in folate!

I was banded 7/28 so 4 days post op & was having "bowell issues" I tried the Gerbers apple & prune juice, worked like a charm!!! I think it was Faithmds suggestions! The juice is also very good & will add it to my diet.

Thanks

My dr recommended Milk of Magnesia to me, it worked wonderful. A word to the wize take it easy don't take a lot. Don't ask me how I know this! lol

I was only 4 days out of surgery so its ok to use.

Thanks Jachut.

I need some Aussie products as I having a hard time on the Fluid diet in day 4. Miso Soup is really not that nourishing as I am feleing a little weak & tired. So I am going out tomorrow to by WEETBIX NOT wheatabix please all say it right as George Greagan may have a fit (Sorry to all who dont know the Aussie ad). Some heinz baby food will be good.

And to all about Vegimite well my description would probably be the taste of a liquid Guiness. Full of lovely Vitamins.:hungry:

Cheers Jo
