Dry prunes

[foodfighter78 258]

I had gastric bypass 3 months ago, can I eat dry prunes?

I'd watch the cumulative sugar content and stay within your guidelines, but why not?

How much sugar a day we can take? For 6 prunes, is 20gr of Protein, I try and eat only 2. I'm hoping helps with Constipation

That's great amount of Protein for dried fruit. If you soak them in warm Water for a few minutes that will help the stool pass quicker

I'm confused. I checked My Fitness Pal and found no dried prunes with more than 1 gram of Protein ????

All have well over 20+ grams of carbs, however. Are you sure you aren't getting the 2 confused?

I found Smooth Move tea effective in helping with Constipation. Also be sure you are drinking plenty of Water.

Aren't prunes by definition dry? Otherwise they would be plums. Just curious.

Sorry I got confuse with sugar, no Protein the only reason I was eating it was for Constipation, but they don't work. I only had 2 not the all serving size, which contains 20gr of sugar.

Yes gentle move is the only thing that help, I'm using it only every other day. Driving lots of Water.

I eat prunes. They aren't the best choice, but I think they do work. The thing about Constipation, and after eight months, I feel like an expert, is that no one remedy will work all the time. At least not for me. Nothing works all the time. Personally, I like Smooth Move tea. But it is only for "occasional constipation."

Prunes, which are also known as "dried plums," have no added sugar. I'd check with someone on your surgical team first, but if they say yes, I'd start with one prune. Then, I would move up to two, etc. See what happens. I think the best thing for constipation is drinking lots of Water. I have become very good at this.

Thank you! I do drink but if I drink too much Water then I can't eat! My stomach is very small, I get nauseated if I drink too much, I try my best to get 64oz a day!

I try dulcolax I was so sick, dizzy etc

My nutritionist recommends baby prunes for Constipation
