Fiddleman- you and i eat the same. Low carbs & Miralax. What now works for me is to split the miralax. Try taking it am/pm. Works much better.

And OP (i think its billysmom?) listen to BTB. He really does know what he's talking about. I was feeling frustrated last month he talked me down. I went to see my NUT and we figured out I am VERY sensitive to carbs. So now i'm eating 20 or less carbs and unlimited fat (within reason) and calories. You need to eat to fuel your body. If you lower your intake even more' date=' you will become very ill and not lose any weight. I know it's frustrating, but you need to step back and re-evaluate your plan. There IS a process to all this and it doesn't happen overnight. We all wish it did!!

Sometimes I talk people off of ledges....other times I'm the reason they are out there.

I am taking two magnesium supplements and two fiber gummies every night and for the first time since surgery have no problems with Constipation. Check with your doc, but this has been a lifesaver for me!

And it's true, you can not be gaining fat. And cutting calories seems like an unhealthy plan. Just stick with it and it WILL happen.

I feel you. I haven't lost anything for 2 weeks and I'm out 4 weeks. I weight myself today and I've gained 1.5 lbs overnight, really?! This is not cool.

How many fiber gummies do you take a day? I also realized my walking has been missing in last couple weeks, so am starting that up again. Hopefully that will make everything golden for both me and my dog.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
