One excellent one that cured me of chronic diarrhea once is Prescript Assist, Amazon carries it. It is soil based and it gets where it's supposed to in the intestines.

Definitely take magnesium before bed too.

So I'm one month out and just started doing 1/8 cup oatmeal (my nut is good with oatmeal) with a spoon full of ground flax seed in it. And it seems to be helping! I've tried milk of magnesia and stool softners but this seems to help best so far.

I have issues with Constipation as well and try to eat Fiber one Cereal, prunes, and oatmeal. At least one of these foods every day. It's helped me quite a bit. Also, I'm not sure if yogurt helps, but I eat yogurt every day.

I have the same issues, I combat them as best I can with probiotics that mix into anything, and every day I drink kefir milk to help colonize my GI tract. I also eat prunes occasionally, they are sugar laden but delicious and a great way to handle a sugar craving

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
