Back to the basics?

So I have been having a hard time lately. My weight loss has slowed down alot! I have only lost 2 lbs in almost 2 weeks and I have been really constipated. I have not had a bowel movement in like a week and a half. I'm so frustrated. Im thinking of putting myself back on the full liquid diet. What do you all think? Is it bad to do that? My dr. Hasn't returned my phone calls so I can't ask him for info. I have been taking laxatives and stool softeners and nothing is helping. So I'm in need of advice.

Good point! I should be happy that I'm losing weight and not gaining! I just got discouraged for a bit. Thanks for helping me to remember that

Yes I can drink coffee. And it usually does the trick. Just not lately. I actually went and did an enema. And it worked!! So I'm feeling much better today. It was such a wonderful feeling to empty myself out finally!

And when you do 'GO' you will loose a weight in one go!

I am the same, 2lbs in 10 days, they say it slows, then we will have a leap down those scales (fingers crossed)

Yay! Now you should weigh yourself!

I started mushy foods yesterday and haven't had a poop since. I have been normally going once a day on liquids. I have gas but nothing else. Is this normal? I'm prob just paranoid. Maybe I'll go back to liquids tomorrow

 

[TamPerez111]

I weighed myself and I am 2 lbs lighter!! 2 lbs of poo! I can't believe it. Lol.

And about the mushy foods. I was the same way. I went out and bought miralax to add into my drinks and what not... It didnt help me. But I have heard from alot of others that it worked great for them. You probably just need a stool softener. That's what my guess is anyways. And if all else fails and you get desperate there is always an enema

I ate dairy since I'm lactose intolerant now and that helped push things along! Lol
