[Laura81 5]

Hi there long time since I post hope everyone is doing good. I'm about 4.5 months post op. on dec 6th I was finally in Onederland, now close to 2 months later I'm at 187-186! Haven't lost an inch for almost 3 weeks!!! And my doctor told me that my weight lost will slow even more Wth!! I'm sorry but I can bearly hit the 10lbs they required. I still suffer from costipation and have to take something to go and I feel aweful. I mean I'm happy I'm 55lbs lighter and I know my weight loss will not happen over night I just want to cry bc of my slow slow weight loss. I'm hoping to be at 175 by valentines day I'm pushing my self but seems even when I workout my weight stays the same. Help advice needed please!!!

I know how you feel and I know it's frustrating. Sometimes it can be as simple as drinking in more Water which I still struggle with today. For the Constipation I personally take Colace every single night before I go to bed. There's a generic form of Colace that I buy at costco and I take 3 pills at night. It wasn't working very well in the beginning but eventually it has worked for me to the point where I actually go every morning (at least most mornings, if not later in the day). Weight loss stalls do happen and it does take patience, but as long as you are doing all the things that have been advised for you the weight loss will continue. Hang in there!

Thanks I've try colace and felt make me sick. I try the cascara sagrada just 2 every night and helps but wish I didn't have to take them. As for Water I've struggle to get in all my water more at this time of the year since its cold I don't drink as much as when it's hot. I even told my husband that I wouldn't tell him my weight no more bc I don't loose after that but I haven't loss lol. I will try I promised I've seen others that hardly workout and results are amazing so idk. I'm 50lbs of my goal so hopefully soon.

I guess I treat the Constipation pills just like my Vitamins, I just have to take them on a regular basis so i can be 'regular'. As for the Water I have been drinking it on the hot side because i still feel cold all the time. When eating out I usually ask for hot water instead of the cold water that they bring automatically. I also enjoy the taste of Decaf coffee and sometimes dilute it more with adding hot water, just so I can get more water in. Hope you find what can work for you too.
