I know since we are eating less our body is breaking down less food but it is normal to only go the bathroom every couple of days. Should I be eating more high Fiber or something? Im just wondering if this is normal.

Hi Cindy -

I rely heavily on good old fashioned prune juice to keep me regular. I have a problem with constipation anyway, long before my surgery.

Right after banding I tried some dissolving fibre, but was too paranoid that it would start expanding in my stoma before it could funnel down into my stomach, so stopped that before anything bad happened.

I will also use Epsom salts if prune juice didn't do it, or I'm out of juice. Be careful with the Epsom salts, though, and only use a little bit, or you'll be super sorry.:think
