I have started my liquid diet on Monday, what a struggle. I'm day three in and feeling really constipated. I am not normally ever constipated. Is this normal? Should I take a laxative?

certainly check with your surgeon,but yes,protein is constipating and you probably should take a laxative.

Thank you Holly. Off to the store I go. I just am so excited and can't wait until I finally change my life.

I'm getting prepared for the same diet. Last night's class warned us of constipation. They suggested Dulcolax, but to notify the weight management folks when you start taking it. Yay for you! Good luck!

I like miralax since it's a non-stimulant laxative.
