Um, could you make my problems go away?

I'd prefer to spend more time here as this is way more fun than the stuff I'm dealing with IRL.

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.

You help people even when you aren't able to be here. I wish I had a magic wand for you.

as a DSer you are required to take ca (citrate) due to malabsorption issues. Ca is notorious for causing constipation. space your ca throughout the day at 400-600 mg/per ingestion. It is very imp. to ingest mag. with ca intake a 2:1 of ca citrate to mag will ususally keep constipation away, as mag is a gentle laxative. do not take ca with any other medications (thyroid, antibiotics, b-blockers as ca interfers with therr absorption) if the 2:1 ratio of ca citrate to mag do not provide you with the relief, take one dose of miralax per day.

be well
