Ok I know it's been said we have extra hormones running around in our bodies and mine is going nuts!!! Either that or I am going through a mid life crisis... I can't seem to sleep and i know it has been said you replace food with something else addictive... I'm scaring myself!!!!

Anyone else dealing with Constipation issues again? I'm almost 5 months out and was doing fine with this then things took a turn...

[loving.life 110]

Yes. Miralax

[Greenize42 62]

Miralax and if that doesn't work suppositories or enema.... Drastic but if you are miserable then it's worth it!

I'm feeling really stupid right now. My husband and kids went out for Cinco de mayo. I didn't go because I wasn't feeling up to eating Mexican. I went to the grocery store to get some stuff for my sons teacher for teacher appreciation day tomorrow. Had to pass by the bakery and couldn't, or didn't, pass on an apple turnover. Then...proceeded to eat half of it on the car...a big no-no. Came home just in time for it to make a return engagement.

Why did I do this to myself? I knew I couldn't eat it? I knew what would happen. My asthma is in high gear and I have felt crappy for a few days. I'm having major aversions to food. Most days I just want to drink a Protein smoothie, eat a Protein Bar, and be done with it all. I've lost 78 lbs since 12-20 so I know I'm doing something right. I just wish I could get back on track with eating regular food and liking it.

Don't be too hard on yourself. You're human, and sometimes "want" pushes us too far. Remember, we have a lifetime of bad habits to overcome. Just try to remember this experience the next time you're faced with the challenge. In the meantime, forgive yourself.

Yeah, I'm five months out too and having some trouble. I've increased my fluids and varying my food helps (I get lazy and eat the same foods often). My doc recommends Senecot lax tablet since they're the most natural, and they usually help overnight.

I use Miralax and you just put it in Water it dissolves! That is safe for even young kids!

I am really taken back!! The other night I woke up at 3 am with a strong tummy pain. It was one with strong cramps and knives! I couldn't breathe. Then the next day was like.some one punched me. Today I am still sore. Dont kniw what caused it but now I am afraid to eat!

[Getting-used-to-new-me 119]

For what it's worth, you may want to call the surgeons group, and drink your Protein today.

[Greenize42 62]

How are you doing on your Protein Shakes? And no meds is right you might want to call your drs office just in case

That would scare me! I'd call the dr too, just to be on the safe side. I get nervous anytime I have a belly ache or pain. Does anyone else have just an uneasy kind of feeling in your stomach? I don't really know how to explain it just doesn't feel right and it's always there. Dr can't find anything wrong but it's like just a blah feeling, maybe that's why I have this aversion to eating food most of the time. I'm grateful for the weight loss but I'm ready to feel normal again.

Lilly I don't have that I don't think. Every now and again my pouch gets irritated and it's best I just do Protein Shakes but it's not all the time

I take a probiotic with 50million organisms once a day...that really helped!! A nutritionist told my friend any under 25million won't do much.
