Just a few Questions.

Ok I just thought I would try to see if I could get some suggestions on stuff to eat. Different items . I am almost 8 months out and feeling great I hae lost a total of 100 pds to be exact and never could ask for anyting more. My other question is what can I do to prevent constipation. It seems I am having this problem every other day and its not feeling great.

If you have tried over the counter products (Benefiber, Metamucil, etc) and still have a problem.... and have tried Miralax and can't stomach it or still don't get relief... there is a med you can talk to your MD about http://www.amitiza.com/

Tracy, I take magnesium 3 times a day and it really helps with constipation. Congrats on the weight loss! Lynn J., lap RNY 9/29/04

First, Congratulations on losing 100 lbs. That is FABULOUS. I hope that you feel as well as I do!! Tell me what you are eating now and I will see if I can recommend some "new" things for you to try. I eat almost anything (in small quantities, of course). I too have some problems with constipation and take 2 peri-colace (generic brand) every night to combat it. My doctor told me not to take any of the Fiber laxatives because of the possibility of the fiber just "sitting" in the pouch for too long. Hugs, Piggybabe

I eat an apple a day and it keeps me stay regular you could use any kind of fruit though I just prefer green apples. Or even fruit juice. V-8 Splash makes diet ones, Berry, fruit, and some other flavors and they work well to keep you regular too. I prefer to do it naturally if possible because your body gets dependant on those other things and you can't go without them. Also flax seed oil if your having a major problem with it, it is natural too. The fruit will help though if you eat enough believe me. I'm pregnant and nothing constipates you more that prenatals and the fruit works for me.
