Recommended Posts

I sometimes have the same problem but not as bad as yours... I can go 2 or 3 days.

Are you drinking enough Water? My dr told me that fluids help relieve Constipation.< /p>

Good luck

Well that's a good amount of Water. How about fibre?

Time for real talk.... Hope this isn't TMI.

I'm not going..... Ugggh!!!

I know I don't eat enough veggies but by the time I fit Protein in there's not room for much more.

I can go over a week without going. That's just not healthy. Ive taken Milk of magnesia and Mirilax. It will eventually happen with the aid of a chemical product but I hate that I have to take them do what should come natural.

I even thought that maybe I'm eating too much Greek Yogurt???? (Lots of protein in that stuff)

Is anyone else having this issue????

I was having the same issue. I bought Fiber gummies and you take two a day. It took about a week but i go every day now!!! They were a huge help i recommend you try them

Oh and sometimes i forfeit the protein in favor of veggies to help...were far enough out where we can eat more so u can always sub in a Protein Shake as a snack if you feel you need more protein or Jerky etc. Its too much protein that will bind you up

Yes it is a terrible issue for me too. I don't know what else to do either.

GREEN!! You look AMAZING! Miralax is awesome unleess you need a stimulant which Senecot works wonders! Thank you for the hit up on MFP. I am doing VERY well with my weight loss. I started exercising and OMG I can not beleive how much weight I am dropping now. I am between a 12-14 and I have NO clothes which sucks and is awesome all at the same time. :) I am still losing hair at 5 months out.

NGMA- HELLO! I hope you feel better! My entire family got it and it lasted a couple of weeks and it stunk!

JENN- You are almost to Onderland! Awesome job.

Artsong/Rybecca- You girls also look great! I love seeing the updated profiles. I have to do mine soon! Love you girls. Forgive me for not being on here more often. I am seperating from the hubby ( and no not because the weightloss, because he is an A-HOLE, lol) and I have a lot going on. I miss you all though

green i was told high protien can constipate you. take some flaxseed and fish oil that might help natrually and up the Water it makes the path easier.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
