any one have this problem

for 14day have not had bowel movent so i aome prunes a day late feel better. any suggestions on how to keep regular please help amanda

YOUR PATTERN WILL BE MORE IRREGULAR THAN BEFORE BECAUSE YOU ARE EATING LESS & MOST OF THE DIGESTION PROCESS IN NOW DONE IN THE INTESTINES WITHOUT AS MUCH STOMACH ACID, ETC ... FLUIDS ARE THE #1 MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE AS THEY ALLOW FOODS TO PASS EASILY THROUGH YOUR NEW DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. NEXT TO THAT, THE TEXTURES WILL AFFECT THE SPEED YOU DIGEST FOOD ... DRY FOODS LIKE CRACKERS, TEXTURED FOODS LIKE MEATS WILL TAKE LONGER THAN SOUPS OR FRUITS. MY SYSTEM HAS SETTLED DOWN INTO AN EVERY OTHER DAY PATTERN, BUT IF I EAT A LOT OF MEATS & DON'T INCREASE MY FLUIDS, I COULD GO 5 DAYS WITHOUT A MOVEMENT. IF YOU HAVE A LOT A TROUBLE, HAVING A PRUNE LIKE EVERY OTHER DAY OR WHATEVER HELPS YOU ... WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. A FUNNY FACT IS THAT S-F CHOCOLATE PRODUCTS HAVE THE SAME INGREDIENT AS LAXATIVES, SO IF YOU EAT TOO MUCH S-F CHOCOLATES, YOU WON'T HAVE ANY TROUBLE GOING POTTY!!!!!!!! YOUR IRREGULAR, REGULAR WLS FRIEND DAWN (& NICK ... HE'S NOT IN THIS PART OF THE GAME!)

Hey Amanda, I had the same problem for the first 7 weeks post-op I used smooth move tea from GNC it worked great. I'm 9 weeks out now and the lack of BM"S does not exsist anymore it just takes a month or so for some peoples body to adjust itself. Marcey 255/213/150
