Hi, My surgeon gave me a RX for this powder called Miralax. You put it in liquid and it disolves right away. It also doesnt taste like anything. Its cheap and seems to do the trick for me. Its very mild and just makes me regular. It's not like you will be running to the bathroom every two minutes or something. Tavia

i put a pic on my profile of how my leg looks after the surgery...it's not bad but not pretty either. thought you guys might wanna see.... Steph 350/155/150

Hi Steph! Hope youre doing good after your surgery! On the drinks, I use them and *my* surgeon said they were fine as long as you only use them once a month and only if you feel the need for a good *cleaning*. I have used them 2 or 3 times over the last 6 months and must say they help. Again this is my surgeon so best to check with yours too, but I personally didnt have any problems, other than gaggin it down YUCK! But it was worth it in the end (pardon the pun lol!) Good luck!

Hi Steph, I'm not sure about the colon cleansing drinks...bathroom issues seem to be a common issue for us. I eat 3-4 prunes everyday and use MOM almost once a week if needed. I find the prunes have helped me more than anything. Dana

i'm very glad you've asked that question, stephanie. i've had issues for quite a while, too. i'll keep watching for answers but the quickest way is to find out from your surgeon. mine suggested milk of mag, prunes, benefiber. i never asked about a colon cleansing, however, i do take psyllium husk on a daily basis, as well as colace. and before my hysterectomy surgery i had to do a colon cleansing, too. FYI and i know what you mean about needing a good cleansing. i constantly feel like i'm full of it. and it doesn't help that my pcp discovered i have a rectocele. for which i will need corrective surgery once my weight loss stabilizes. ah, the joys of being a post-op WLS. good luck with your question, stephanie have a great week. dorthe
