Anyone have a hard time going to the bathroom? I was totally opposite before this. Now I am living off of Milk of Magnesia!! (Nasty)

Try benefiber. It is a tasteless fine powder that you can add to any drink, or sprinkle on your food. Totally tasteless. I think the problem is the amount of Protein we take in, if I am not mistaken.

Well I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem.

Miralax should we take it everyday? I am also having issues with this. Doctor said to take Miralax if I had any problems, but I do not know if I need it everyday. Stool softener was also suggested.

Do you keep yourself well hydrated? Also, do you happen to be taking a large dosage of an Iron supplement?

Having the same issue & benefiber wasn't helping. What has helped very much is Smooth Move tea and it taste good to. I drink a cup every other night.

Being high Protein low /no carb we are all lacking Fiber. Keeping hydrated will help as will miralax or the Smooth Move tea.

It's terrible & completely no fun having "potty problems." I use miralax in my crystal light & milk of magnesia (cherry is good-ish) & am moving to colace twice a week. I look forward to the day when I can have a little oatmeal & some prunes. Oh gosh, I'm turning into my grandmother????

I can count on one hand the number of times in my life I've been constipated. This is awful!! I started taking stool softeners and they are helping.

I was having the same issues. I'm 7 weeks out or so. They told me to take up to 4 Colace a day and Miralax, if needed. If I'm consistent with the Colace, 1 a day seems to be working ok.

My NUT said it gets better as we are able to incorporate more veggies into our diets.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
