Help... im following the plan i am on soft food but ive gained 2 lbs i dont understand... is anyone going thru this?

I literally just was dealing with the same problem. I'm 7 weeks post op and I stalled because of constipation. Once I had a bowel movement I lost 5lbs. My biggest problem is that I'm always constipated and I not getting the weight off as fast because of it.
Well LOL we know what you were full of?And I'm not really making fun of you, you see I also sing in the "When did I poo?Last "choir. In fact there are times I am guest soloist. My best way through, Miralax twice a day, if no BM after 2 days I resort to liquid Ducolax, if the third day comes and no?, we call out the Ducolax pills, when they start working you wouldn't to schedule me anywhere except 1 room from my tile and porcelain abode, because I WILL BE ABIDING THERE. You see I drew the trifecta of colonic misery . I am still,on pureed diet with minimal natural fiber to it, I am getting every day older, well known fact, ageing colons are sluggish and my colon is perfectly happy to stuff and cram until,i get full and then refuses to push things out spontaneously. It thinks it can visit Myrtle Beach or First Lauderdale, but I'm stuck moaning here in Ohio. And after my journey to local hospital for the Milk and Molasses enema,?oh stop giggling? , I literally lost 4.5 pounds. I'm sure in the medical notes it says something like "Lady arrived full,of it, successful evacuation of colon contents" much rather have it say " Frustr8 is a lovely lady and an absolute joy to visit here!" but you know it would be the first. not the nicey one!
