Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

Speaking Frankly... Are you sure its constipation ?? I have noticed That After surgery, "I have become Less regular"  In my case.... it is.... By No means a constipation Issue, You just have to take into consideration, that your intake is FAR LESS than normal, So your Regularity, will become...Less regular.  At least it has for me. It has gotten a Lot better as I progress along in time.. but, still rather infrequent.  I hope this helps.  From one Floridian to another.. " I hope you have a ****ty day "??  LMAO... All the best to you... RMC

Hey Kelly. I mixed a scoop of protein mix with 1% milk and an hour or so later, all hell broke loose! LOL...literally. It's worth a try. I have liquids ONLY for 7 days and didn't think I even had anything in me. Good luck :)

Hey Kelly,

Is it too early for your new tummy to try stool softeners?

Just a thought,

Fred

  If it feels good, do it!  And if it smells good, eat it!

Drink more fluids and add 4 heaping teaspoons of Benefiber to your Crystal Light.   Ya gotta drink to keep that stuff moving on through....... I add 3 to 4 teaspoons everyday to my Crystal Light.   You can also try Miralax powder.  It desolves in liquid also.

Worst case senario...  In the hospital we use 4oz. warm prune juice with 2 pats of butter and 30cc of Milk of Magnesium all mixed up together.  Follow with water, and in about 3 hours, WATCH OUT!

Great suggestions everyone, i for one am drinking as much water and protein shakes as possible, but no go.  But maybe Mr. Deltona has is right i'm not constipated, but I still havn't gone so i guess I'll try the benifiber, sounds easy,, although the prune juice thing sounds like it will work its a little scary right out of sugery.  Thanks guys Kelly from FLA
