@ChellNCit’s tough. I started on July 30th. Went from drinking 5 Protein Shakes to 3 just upped the amount of whey Protein I put in my Water bottles. By day 2 I had a bad headache. I can eat only green veggies but as many as I want. Day 3-4 had me running to the bathroom. It gets better. I feel pretty good now. Drink lots of water. snack on sugar free popsicles. Before you know it it will be surgery time.

Thanks @Frmamomzeyez! I've already got the headache. Even my hair hurts.

Yipes, not good, not good! Hurting hair is NOT a happy symptom to have.

Currently having the same issue. My doctor said I could wait it out or take some milk of magnesia

Oh no. I’ve never tried it because I’ve never had this issue 😫😫. But maybe a different powdered laxative.

@mercmerc and BigBadWolf, I am having this,💩 posted it on PreDiet, if I'm like this now, what hope do I have for the future and post- surgery. Maybe I should put a pump on the MoM bottle so I don't have to unscrew the lid.LOL

Lol. I’m scared to take it and then I leave the house and 💩 on myself

I know me neither but I would take it as like a detox maybe once or twice I might try Miralax?

I hate MoM !

[Chrisb428 626]

My doctor recommends miralax post op.

My doctor recommended MoM for the first week or so. I think maybe because Miralax is stronger and or has sugar? Not sure...MoM worked for me though!

[ALFxRNY 540]

My surgeon always suggest MoM. Gross but it works!

Throw half a cup of baby spinach in the blender with your Protein Shake. Works fine for me. Have never taken any kind of meds for this issue.
