The Correlation: Fiber Gummies, Miralax, 2 Week Stall



Recommended Posts

Disclaimer: Might be TMI....but thought I would post this info just in case someone found it useful.. you never know right?

At any rate... prior to surgery I had to do the "dreaded" bowel prep and it did it's job... thoroughly. Left the hospital on February 12th and my bowels were so loose I literally had to wear a pad every time when I left the house. So everything was moving right along...was passing gas... the whole nine. All of sudden about 4 or 5 days after I got home everything just STOPPED! Oh my! Called my doctor/went to see my PCP for a post surgery check up and both told me to use Miralax. Everything else I was told would be to harsh for my new pouch. I complied and this past Monday started mixing Miralax with my crystal light and taking Fiber gummies ( 2 twice a day).

My weight had stalled out at about 230 lbs for almost 2 weeks, even went up to around 231. Yesterday things got moving and this morning I woke up and I'm down to 228 lbs. So that's about 2-3 lb lost over the last two days and I believe my stall was due to things "locking" up. I will be taking Fiber Gummies twice a day along with my Vitamin supplements ...just make sure that things stay "regular".

Yep--my stall this week was apparently due to the same problem. I need to get things moving again!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
