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

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.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
