Thanks ladies! I will be sure to try every single thing mentioned...lol...:}

My nurse educator and nutritionist said above all do NOT turn to stimulant laxatives. So I then asked her what I COULD do. She said to eat more fiber, drink a bit of prune juice, take a stool softener (I take one in the morning and one at night), and take Fiber Choice chewable fiber tablets. Since I've been doing those things I rarely have a problem. Good luck! I know it's part of our life to deal with now, especially with all the protein we take in, but it SURE AIN'T FUN! lol Brenda

Hey guys. I have a question. What do you do when you are constipated? Gross I know but part of the territory after our surgery. I called the Dr. and he said grape juice, mini wheats, and tons of water. I am doing that and IT IS NOT WORKING. I need help my friends! Last Friday Sat and Sun I could not quit going, and now I cannot go for the life of me. What the heck is going on here lol? Any natural remedies from you pros would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks :}
