Bowel Stability

I think I have a new normal, but it's "regular" :-)

I am 4 weeks post op and have been constipated the last couple of weeks.  I'm now taking a stool softener daily and need the push of Milk of Magnesia after waiting 5 days!  I've never been "normal" and have suffered before but thought surgery would help.  On soft foods for another 2 weeks and I'm trying to increase veggies.  At my 6 week post op visit this will be addressed.  

I would just keep Miralax on hand and mix it with your shakes. It's safe to use. My grandsons had to use it daily from infant stage to  yrs old. It truly is tasteless and dissolves instantly. 

I blame my constipation on the shakes. Ever since I started drinking those, I've been bound up. Fiber One bars are good too, bu****ch the sugar content in them.
