This thread took an interesting turn!:biggrin2: I have had real Constipation problems but I am only a few weeks post op and my doc wants me to avoid salads etc that used to keep me regular. He wants mostly a Protein diet at this stage so I am taking 2 stool softeners each night to keep things moving along:redface:

In the post-op healing phase, that's probably a good idea, but when you get back to solid foods, you should really think about putting fibre back in your diet.

My doc said not to take Fiber pills that expands in the belly cause it could cause pouch to stretch. I have problems going too. Thought about the colonitic also.

Have any of you done a detox cleanse? If so what kind?

I have never done one. My Mom does them all the time, but I don't know if they help. She stays constipated, and she says they help, but I just wonder if she is making it worse.

      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.
