I am 2 yrs post op. Can we say constipation?
I've been started on fiber supplementation. Not so much to help with the BM problem but to help with my low blood sugars. I'm starting to drink that now.
I'm going to try the MOM every two hours until it breaks. I will also be calling my primary care.

Pain meds are notorious for causing constipation FYI.
I haven't had too many poop problems, but when I do, a diet soda with caffeine, cup of coffee or something with sugar alcohol in it usually gets things moving (rapidly).

I am not a doctor, but I play one at work.
Colonic/colon hydrotherapy maybe?
ive had them relatively regularly in the past- the Lapband made me tremendously constipated- once I've finished this last course of antibiotics ill be going to start a course of them to try and get myself more balanced out.
good luck

Good news is, I finally called my pcp, *****commended a fizzy thing. I can't do carbonation. Makes me hurt. So I called my bariatric surgeon, he wanted me to do 3 to 4 doses of miralax. So I did. It finally broke this morning. I've gone now twice. Think there is a lot more to go.
