Advice please!
Ok so I'm 14 months out. Started at 306 and my lowest weight was about 150. I am starting to maintain at about 163 but have been having issues with slowly gaining back. I'm not sure ifim truely gaining weight or if it's just the weight of the food that I'm eating. I have been having issues with bowel movements for a while now and really don't go unless I take laxatives. I'm not eating anything different or anything that I shouldn't be but I'm not sure if the whole bm thing is normal. Any advice is appreciated!
Are you able to talk to your surgeon about this? That would be my first step.

This is probably best to discuss with your doctor, but my gastroenterologist has me take Miralax every day. It's safe to use daily and doesn't make you dependent like other laxatives. I just had to play around with the dose because the full dose was too much for me - I'm on about 1/2 a dose per day.
