1/2 packet of Miralax in one protein shake each day X 2 days and it should help.  But because we're drinking our calories right now, not much will come out.  I had surgery 12/8 and I did what the Dr. suggested on Tuesday morning.  Had my 1st BM (sorry tmi) today.  Take care ~ Kim

Tmi incoming. I went from being a twice a day (pre-op) to once every 3 days post op. If you aren't in any pain it is fairly normal. My doc recommended stool softener as a first line, miralax next, then a prescription third.

I take 1/2 dose of miralax every day, and it fixes the problem.

best wishes,
