Anyone having less bowel movement



Recommended Posts

I may be a little off of your subject but I find that I stay regular (I go at least 3 times a day), I'm not able to eat more than 5 ounces of food at each meal but I get in a lot of vegetables, I have a new craving for fresh collard greens now and will eat them as a snack since a snack has to stay under 100 calories. I also enjoy string Beans and broccoli at least 2 days a week. My main vegetable though is the fresh greens and I eat them probably 3 days a week.

My two year old granddaughter has always had these issues, and her doctor prescribed Miralax powder. It used to be a prescription, but it is now sold over the counter. She takes a half a capful in Water and drinks it every night. She calls it her "Poopy Juice". I had surgery and picked some up so I wouldn't have to take a pill stool softener. Adults just mix a capful with 4-8 ounces of any beverage.

Every once in a while I'll stop being regular. Otherwise it's daily or every other day. When I go for more than 3 days without a BM I'll drink a cup of Senna tea. You should be able to find it in any decent Vitamin store. It's not the nicest tasting tea, but it does soften things up without going to the other extreme and gets things moving again. :huh2:

I got my ticker from tickerfactory.com

doesn't benefiber also come with a Calcium plus product? I think that is a plus..

Sorry to hear about irregularity for everyone. I am lucky enough not to have issues, but once I begin to introduce additional foods it may hit me. So all this info is stored away for futrue use if needed.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
