Constipation

[Jlewis229 191]

Is Constipation a problem after being banded? I've seen a few people talk about it and I'm worried about it because due to my pain meds I already have a horrible issue and dread making it worse but I need the band!

Thanks for the input

It was for me until I tried Miralax. Problem solved.

It was for me as well...make sure to drink plenty of water...Miralax is great as well...also, make sure your up and moving...this will help

I never let it become a problem prunes or prune juice are very good for keeping the system going, also keeping up your intake of fibre through veg and fruit is essential .. a lot of people on the forum take stool softeners too ..

yeah, put some of that stuff in your Protein Shake. I usually take metamucil and drink WATER! or you could try some "de pitted" prunes. I love them.
