Restroom question....
Do you ever have need to go to the restroom, but can't? Like I can feel it sitting in my colon- to the point where it's uncomfortable to do anything other than sit on the toilet- but I CAN'T GO. Any advice? I drink a TON of water- I just got off work where I KNOW I had a ton of water... I don't know what to do

I take MIralax daily to prevent that problem. On the rare occasions it happens anyway, I use a Dulcolax suppository. It's not fun but it works in about 30 minutes.

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!

My dr recommended milk of magnesia. It worked within a few hours. How long since you have gone?

I'm actually on my time of month- which i've noticed I tend to go a lot for the week.. So i've been going every day multiple times a day for about 3 days!
