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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
