I hear you and you are not alone. I use lactulose if I dont go more than 2 days and use glycerin almost daily. Consitpation has been my biggest issue, When I went for my f/u and mentioned my problem they the RD and NP said you dont have to go every day! My response was yes I do, it's there but have +++ trouble passing it. I have resorted to the manual method from time to time. I know you are still very fressh. Make sure you get your water in. Try lactulose upto 30 cc. Lax A day works too. You can add it to your water/food it is flavorless and dissolves well.

If you go the manual method get some KY jelly.

I asked my clinic about Lactulose and they said absolutely no since there is no info on how our tummies deal with it. Since PJB is so early out maybe she shouldnt try it.Lactulose is very powerful.

I wish the clinics would sing from the same songbook.

Thanks for all the tips and advice everyone!  I did manage to have some progress today...not perfection but definitely progress.  I am just trying to be patient and let my body figure it out.  I do have a follow-up at TWH on Friday so I can ask for some support there too if the problem is persisting.
