Well I am still holding strong.

The scale has been on a 17 pound loss for a few days now, and I beleive the constipation issue that I was having is the reason. So I added a calcium supplement with fiber, but it didn't help. I finally went and purchased some ex-lax...what a difference! I fell so much better today!

I had been having severe back pain, and I really beleive it had to do with with constipation. Well it seemed to get better today, thank god.

Today I had my first meal out, we went to the local diner and I just ordered some eggs. All went well other than the fact that my family was finished eating and I was still going. It was quite funny. But I left satisfied, and it didn't even bother me that their was bread sitting on the table! Thank god!

Tomorrow I am going to move on to the soft phase of my diet, I can't wait to have some fish!!! I think I feel some Tilapia in my future :sad:.

Let's pray that the scale shows a loss tomorrow, I need it to keep me going! I leave for vacation in just 4 days and I really want to fit into some of the pants that were still a bit too tight last week!:thumbup:

I had the same problem with the scale getting stuck. The dr. recommended milk of magnesia for me. The regular kind tastes gross so I just bought some of the cherry, but it works great and no cramping. I think the constipation played a role in my weight as well.

Ditto on the constipation... It's very discouraging. I took a laxative last night. I have been stuck at about 16 lbs I actually had to have my fiance hide the scale on me because every time I saw it i stepped on it. I'm going to wait until friday to weigh again I will be 3 weeks post-op I have my fingers crossed. Good luck to you
