Hi Derrick, otherwise how are you doing? I can't help you out there, but talk with your surgeon and see if he has any suggestions. Best of luck, sweetie in your journey as a loser. Kathy

kathy thanks how are you doing on your journey, the last time i talked to you, you had to go to , when do you have to go? i went to the doctor on thursday for my week check up and i had lost 17 pounds. i feel great,i was only sore for about 3 days after surgery and on the fourth day i as cleaning and scrubing tubs and stuff like that.but i feel wonderful, just a little head hunger that is the only thing bad, but in a few weeks i will so be over it. well good luck

Derrick, Your surgeon is your best bet for info, but increasing one's fiber intake can help with constipation. Good luck. Kelly

HI derrick, constipation can be painful to say the least. I began increasing my fiber intake, I looked for a cereal I could take and added splenda to it. now Ihave it every morning and every evening as my snacks. I do half a cup of corn chex, and to tell you the truth I live for that cereal these days as I think I have found something I can really enjoy. I know its carbs but its not that much . I do it with 1% milk as I dont like skim or soy milk, but you can do it with whatever works for you. check with your surgeon as well, as many will prescribe a stool softener if its truly a bad issue. hope this helps, hang in there it gets better with time

I have been using benefiber in my protein shakes and in my yogurt or in any item. It does not have any taste or change the texture. But since I have been taking this I have not had the problem of going to the bathroom any more. PS you can buy this in a big bottle at Sams Club. Hope this helps
