conversion from sleeve to roux en y

Hi everyone,

I've been gone for a while but now I am back.

I had to have a conversion due to severe GERD. (And a weight gain of 30 pounds).

The GERD was awful. So I am back.

I just had it done on the 7th of July and not feeling great.

I hate the protein shakes, but drinking them. The worst part is the constipation.

Any natural suggestions?

I had RNY in 2007 and need to take something everyday for constipation. What works best for me is magnesium every day and I add a fiber drink if needed. Also lots and lots of exercise and water. Many of us take Miralax, it is too strong for me.

Natural is not important just having relief is. But I have no idea what is all in Miralax I just know it works. If you look at most of our menus we all sneak a cap of Miralax and some type of fiber into are coffee or tea. I'll be honest I do not go a day without it. I never want to be constipated Ever again. The miralax seems to work for everyone.

Miralax is too strong for me, but probably I have never found the right dose. I look at my digestive system the same as a car that was wrecked and put back together and is never going to function as well as before it was cut up and put back together.

I have taken Dolcolax overnight gentle relief since 2014... you can take up to 3 a night and it has helped me tremendously in that department. If I forget to take it, I pay for it the next day.
