Guys I’ve done relatively good I was sleeved 4/2017 I was 398 today 7/2018 I’m 220. My problem at one time was bowel movements with a little TMI i had hemroids and fissures. Finally got over that with heavy dosage miralax and stool softeners with stimulants. I am now using miralax since it is an osmotic and not stimulant in morning and at in afternoon. I’m not sure what long term effects will be. Since I only eat a protein shake in the morning and a small lunch and small dinner usually 1 cup per meal it’s hard to get fiber in. I also feel that lose stuffed and heavy if I don’t take the miralax.

miralax is listed as approved for short term use only.
Get yourself some fiber chewables and use them in the morning to supplement your fiber intake.

What Matt said.... I started taking a couple of fiber chewables and things evened out

Good luck

Or you can add Benefiber to your shakes
