Will I suffer from constipation?

There may be some reduction in the volume of your stools, which is normal after a decrease in food intake, because you eat less fiber. This should not cause you severe problems. If difficulties do arise, your doctor may advise you to take a mild laxative and drink plenty of water for a while. Your needs will vary, but you should drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water a day.
