Due to bowel surgery, I have to follow the same diet. However I cannot loose weight, and have a problem with constipation. I have experienced the horrible ng tube several times, any advice given will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @spudsmom93. It sounds as though you've been through quite a journey with bowel problems. Having an ng tube sounds difficult, and I'm sorry to hear it's been horrible the times you've had that.
I realize your situation may be more unique due to the surgery you've undergone, but here is some information from Mayo Clinic on treatment of constipation that may be useful:

spudsmom93, you mentioned that you are following the same diet due to bowel surgery. As various types of diets have been mentioned in this discussion, just wanted to confirm which diet you are following? What has your doctor had you do to address the constipation thus far?
