I'm one of those who have had this problem as well. I got prescribed Colace, and I take it when I need to, but I don't want to get dependent on it. I put fiber in my coffee, and try to eat bran cereal at least a couple of days a week. It's worked out pretty well!

Yea. Definitely put Water so you can see that your taking it. I plateaued with weight loss for a bit and listened to people on here. Now I stick to 1000/1100 using MyFinessPal app on phone and its working. And it gives you a breakdown of all nutrients. If you don't have it well worth getting x

Just downloaded it, I'm also looking up new recipe ideas and trying to find something I can eat for Breakfast that I will actually like lol x

I'm going to look for better Vitamins and a fiber supplement. At the moment all I take is a Multivitamin bug I don't think it contains enough.

Water in a bottle starting from tomorrow, I may start a diary of it too, so I'm sure to count coffees and such like x

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
