Ok May Be A Tad Personal

I was wondering if anyone is having issues with using the bathroom. I go maybe every 3-4 days. Should I be nervous. Should I be taking something. Call my doctor?

That doesn't sound too bad, but you could start taking s Fiber supplement to keep things moving. Also get some mirilax or any natural non stimulant laxative to take if you haven't gone after the 3 or 4 days

I have had the surgery on October 15th, and see the same thing. I think its the body's way of trying to hold in what it may not get again.

I was sleeved on November 11th and having the opposite problem I can't quit going. I'm not taking any fiber nothing. Any advice on that? Really like to chill it out for a little while

Constipation is SO normal. A high Protein diet is the cause of this. I had a couple major problems and finally said enough! I figure eating a balanced diet was healthier on my bowels than laxatives, stool softeners and not to mention the discomfort of the constipation. So I made mini bran muffins at home from scratch. They are full of fiber, I have 1 a day and now I go no problem every day. I can always give the recipe if anyone is interested. I'm also eating a little fruit and veggies as well now and I'm 2 months out

I'm going to see a nutritionist on Monday and I can't wait! I just need a solid plan as to what I am to eat.

I did all liquids the week before surgery then a week after. Second week was adding some puréed and cream based Soups. This week adding some ground meat and some macaroni. Now that I think about it I'm probably a once a week average with the bathroom. I think that if I was able to go maybe I would feel that I actually lost 30 lbs.

stay tuned everyone! I will ask my nutritionist for some advice too !!
