I think the key to going regularly is to make sure you have enough fluids- the gym sounds like a good idea, but I am still sore from the port (tomorrow will be 3 weeks) so I have just been trying to walk alot-

I am eating almost everything, but am afraid to try bread or pasta- I guess that is a good thing- I am trying to keep these 18lbs. off that I lost since this journey began, but I have 3 weeks to go until my first fill, and I certainly hope that it makes a difference

I'm also having a problem with not being able to go, when I called the Dr. he recommended Milk of Mag. ugh, double ugh, but it worked. I am finding certain foods fill me up better than others. Cottage cheese is definately filling, before surgery I couldn't stand the stuff, now I love it, especially with a little sugar free strawberry jam on top. I have also tried the Campbell's Soup at hand, the blended veg medley and potato are really good. I also have an issue in getting the shakes down, have you tried Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder, its better than any of the others I have tried, they have fruit flavors that mix well with Tropicana Sugar Free Orange-ade drink. I have also gained a couple pounds back, and it is totally depressing.
