I did colace for 2 days and on the second afternoon, took the maximum dosage of MOM. I might do it again in a day or two!

Where are you located?
Food based items you can try are
Senna tea, chicory root drink (often called coffee alternative ), sugar alternatives (splenda, stevia), prune juice basically any laxative effect inducing food you can think of

Back in my youth, yeah I do remember back then ,my Mama made a little item called No Bake Cookies. It had oatmeal, Peanut Butter and butter and cocoa in a hot sugary base, dropped on a buttered cookie sheet and left to cool. Oh I loved them little critters and was known to Filch,them before they,cooled out. Only took 4 or 5 and then I'd be in the bathroom crying,because they went right through me. She might as well used exlax instead of cocoa from the misery I went through. Did I learn my lesson? Well not too good, I thought maybe it was a bad batch so I had to inspect them a few more times before it sunk n it. Now 1. I'm allergic to chocolate and 2, it would be the last thing needed on a bariatric diet but I remember it well. PS cooked oatmeal also has a laxative effect.

I didnt go until the 8th day and its was a rocky situation if you know what i mean, i would start stool softeners ASAP, I continued to take them daily for about 6 week until everything got back to normal so to speak.

Same here! I also have been taking Benefiber since, and it has made things normal.

Ugh I went about ten days after surgery. I got so desperate I drank mineral oil. Lots of people swear by miralax which can be mixed in with your clear liquids.

I use Miralax. Wow good for u on taking mineral oil. I heard that was really nasty.

It was not something I would want to drink on an everyday basis for sure. :P

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
