I was naughty yesterday! Remember those cookies I told you about the other day......well there is still a lot of dough left, and I was really cranky last night and I ate like three spoons of chocolate chip cookie dough I know it isn't the end of the world, just wish I hadn't! I am still the same weight thank goodness!!! Today is a new day and I will try harder today!!! Wish me luck

Topic: RE: Trying to solve this constipation problem
Nona, Good Morning to you.I thought I was the only one up at this hour. I will continue with the soy nuts and pitted prunes. I am so sick of medicines. I was so "FOS" FULL OF S___T I was feeling like drano going down a clogged sink. I could hardly eat. This has helped alot. Thanks for your suggestions and have a great weekend.....

I wish I could help, but I have no answer. My PCP put me on Miralax. Nothing worked for me and I hate taking MOM all the time, too. She told me to up the fiber for diverticulitus and that may help the problem but other than carbs, I don't know what fiber I could suggest, other than broccoli, soy and romain lettuce. Sorry.

Hi there my friends, Here is a subject I just feel so embarrassed to talk about...... ..."CONSTIPATION" This was a problem for me before WLS and now it is more of a problem now. I had hernia surgery a few weeks ago and I am still sore. I don't want to strain too much.I know we eat less so we go much less, but this stuff hurts when you get backed up.
. To drink MOM is so nauseating and the other stuff to take are so harsh. You get diaherrea and then you are stopped up again.
I went to Trader Joes and bought pitted prunes and some soy nuts lightly salted. I ate a few and BANG...I was able to go. I hope this will be the answer instead of taking these medicines for this problem. Do you guys have this problem Any suggestions besides medicines?
Thanks again guys have a great weekend. I will try to also. It's raining here in NY..... Lorraine

Nona,
So sorry to hear about this cancer scare. Try not to stress out! If your doctor said it is non-malignant then GREAT!!! Don't stress about surgery, don't even consider it surgery. Consider it your CURE! 
You can also ask your doctor if you can go under local anesthesia for this procedure. Worth an ask! Take care and try not to stress!!! Let us know what you find out. Tracy
