WAY TMI ;). Sad that I'm actually excited about going to the bathroom

 5wks out, struggling with constipation (due to struggling with getting my liquids).  Im lucky to be able to go more than once a week.  It's so uncomfortable.  The Colace doesn't seem to work.


That one day a week I'm so excited to get some relief, I'm posting it on the Internet!

Cant believe I took going to the bathroom for granted all this time lol.   It's practically an NSV!

milk of magnesia! :)

 Wanna know what is even more sad than that?    I immediately jump on the scale after my 4-5 day "hiatus" and weigh.  Yeah, pathetic.  LOL

I posted a poll earlier this week (http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/vsg/4534401/POLL-How-do-YOU-avoid-constipation/) asking what everyone does to avoid constipation. You might want to peruse the answers--they're very interesting. I've adopted some of the suggestions for myself after a rough day on Tuesday. Fortunately for getting suggestions (but unfortunately for the unpleasant experience), many people here know the discomfort of which you speak.

Just a thought, have you tried the crystal light with fiber? it has 4 grams... it's a 2 for 1: water and fiber! ;) 

Good luck! 

I hear ya.....it should get better though as you can drink more fluids.  I'm convinced that is the key for me.  I try to drink at LEAST 80oz of fluids per day and things noticably "back up" if I don't.
