I am two months post-op, still on munchies. I'm reluctant to start taking laxatives as one can develop dependency on them. Hoping eating fruits and vegetables after mid-November will help me become regular again. Or does every VSG patient have this issue for life?

@Ashlegal, I was the same a few days ago when my NUT asked me if I had experienced any constipation, I told her no, by yesterday I was in distress. She had told me that the protein shakes and iron in the multi can cause it. @Daisee68 I am not on pain pills, it is the 2 protein shakes am taking to meet my goal. I was so sure I was going to end up in hospital that's how bad it was but (TMI) I was saved by Fleet glycerine suppositories. I almost passed out too! I have to take something to prevent it again! @emma4884 I hope it works with fruits and veg... I am only allowed 1Tbsp and no skins on fruits.

I am all about the gummy fiber. *nod* Keeps me out of that zone.
