I've been having horrible issues with constipation.... And I think it was you who recommended using green veggies in my smoothies but anyway... I've tried everything Miralax, milk of mag, prune juice, suppositories (sorry tmi) but nothing helped.. I bought this today from Walgreen's... It has kale,broccoli, spinach just a bunch of stuff and it tastes better than it looks trust me.. And it has Protein as well.. And honey I drank less than half the bottle and it sent me in....

Thanks for the share. I had to get prescription laxative and stool softener. Nothing is working. Ughhhh. Sending my honey to Walgreens asap for that drink.

It doesn't have any ADDED sugar but still has 28g of sugar in it which seems like kind of a lot?

28G per serving is a lot of sugar. Definitely want to watch that. But I am glad that things are finally moving for Mskeisha. Perhaps now we can get more veggies in to keep it going. I llike to sneak mine in a smoothie bbecause it hides the taste. I think I will start mine today. I notice that I don't go everyday now but every other day,which is what I am used too. We shall see.

Hello Ladies,

Hope everyone had a great week. I was cleared by my NUT to start taking Chia seeds. I used to add these to my yogurt before surgery. I am glad to say, I have been regular since starting the Chia seeds with no problem. I have not used Miralax all week. Wishing everyone a wonderful week.

I had my 6 week post op Thursday. 31 pounds gone since surgery. 62 total. I have had a slow recovery. I have just started back on my treadmill. Heartburn has been an issue for me. I was told i can eat pretty much what i want. I dont because i dont feel im ready. I had my first round of venison tonight. So far so good. I stuggle to get all my fluids in. I was never a drinker anyway. Protein intake is not an issue for me either. I find it difficult to take 30 mins to eat. Not a fan of cold food. Constipation is an issue. Usually every 3 days. I tried miralax and i just smeared all the time. I am no longer taking any bp meds but sinc3 coming off those i cant stand up normally. I feel the head rush and vision gets dim. Dr doesnt seem worried but it is bothersome.

As a person that takes bp meds I would be concerned about that. Despite the fact that I lost70 pounds from my highest weight, I still have to take them.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
