I am right there with you I had my sugery on sep. 5th and I am having a hard time with my protin and fluids as well and i have not been exercising either that is my new goal is to get to the gym are at least walk on my lunch break I did today so I figure I can spend 15 min out of my hour walking everyday that is my new gaol anyway

I had small problems. I used over-the-counter product & it worked fine. Doctor said to increase my water intake. This is what I do now whenever I have a problem & it works. I make a protein shake (or 2) & add 1/2 tray or more of ice. Good luck! Islander

I am having a scope to stretch the opening to my pouch on Tuesday Nov. 20th. Has anyone else had this done? Did it help right away or did it take awhile? I am a little nervous that I will be able to eat more therefore sabotage my weight loss.

At week 5 my large incision opened up and I ended up in the hospital for 3 days. It drain for 4 weeks . THe doctor said as long as it is clear it was fine.

I had terrible constipation when I first went on solids. I sometimes drink a tea called Smooth Move by Traditional Medicinals, I got it at the grocery store. But I also take Magnesium everyday. That seems to really help. Because it was pretty bad before. I had surgery the same day. Hope you are doing good other wise. Cindy
