This thread took an interesting turn!:biggrin2: I have had real Constipation problems but I am only a few weeks post op and my doc wants me to avoid salads etc that used to keep me regular. He wants mostly a Protein diet at this stage so I am taking 2 stool softeners each night to keep things moving along:redface:

In the post-op healing phase, that's probably a good idea, but when you get back to solid foods, you should really think about putting fibre back in your diet.

My doc said not to take Fiber pills that expands in the belly cause it could cause pouch to stretch. I have problems going too. Thought about the colonitic also.

Have any of you done a detox cleanse? If so what kind?

I have never done one. My Mom does them all the time, but I don't know if they help. She stays constipated, and she says they help, but I just wonder if she is making it worse.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
