Ever since my VSG march 2014,I've had constipation issues (I was the opposite pre surgery)

I've tried to remedy this with eating fiber rich foods and i always end up usually havingvto use miralax or duxlax twice a week.

I really want to know what you ladies s have tried to o help with your this pregnancy contipation.  I

 

literally will try anything! Prunes are not helping . I just got a horrible belly ache.

I'm currently pregnant(very early. Almost 4 weeks) I suffered a miscarriage in August at 8 weeks.  do have a five year old son. My heart!  

My last lab tests were great. So I'm in no rush to see my obgyn. I went through hell last time. I'm waiting a bit now. If I call the office for advice they will just have me 'come in' I love my obgyn but its still a business and of course they want me to come in. I'm not ready yet. Maybe at 12 weeks. 

 

So any advice on this problem i have is much appreciated 

Thank you

I got the OK from my OB to take a stool softener (Colace) every day, I found it helped a lot. Took a few days to get working, but once it did it definitely made a difference.
