Try using a supplement like Miralax. That is what I used and still do to this day.

Congrats on your progress. Very noticeable in your before and after. I'm still a newbie (March 9th) and have had BAD Constipation. I've used Miralax mixed with 4oz of prune juice and 4oz Water. I only mix the prune juice with water because is a high calorie juice.

If 42 pounds in under 11 weeks is slow then I don't even know what to think about my 48 pounds in over 6 months!

I was sleeved on 09/02/14. Constipation was the worst part for me especially since before the surgery I would go twice a day. I used the miralax and still didn't work as I expected it too, then ate prunes still. But with time it goes back to normal buy it really takes a few months, annoying buy true. As far as the slowing down with the weight loss. It also happened to me for about a month but it continued after and has been happening. Know that after 3 months you will lose less every month. Not as much as in the beginning. Day of surgery I weighed 235 I'm 160 today.

      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.
