What to do about constipation?

What worked for everyone?  Im 2 weeks out.  Im on full liquids.  Drinking water and protein and having a little soup or pudding each day.  I know I need to go and my weight loss has stopped now and I think it is because I have not gone to the bathroom since Monday!

My surgeon told me milk of magnesium. It worked like a charm!! 

Thanks- I will buy some tonight and try it.

I put a cap full of Miralax in my protein drink every morning. No problems. It has been the only thing that worked for me. Plus, plenty of water

Milk ao mag works great , but maybe you might want to add some flaxseed to your diet. Stating regular after surgery is one of the things i suffer from and i here its common because of our restrictive diets.

Good luck

On full liquids I didn't go much either- every 4 daysish.. nothing in, nothing out!
But, Miralax is gentle, tasteless and works very well for me. I started with a dose a day, then ended up only needing a tsp every other day or so. I also use 2 tsp of benefiber as well, every day. 

Miralax is not habit forming, and will not give you the runs. It really works well, and you can take it for life if needed.

I had this prob a few days ago. I tried to self medicate with milk of mag and colase and nothing! I called my doc after three days of trying to do it myself and he said to stop the milk of mag and colase and just do a fleets enema. Worked after a minute and the next day I was down 3 pounds!!! Hallelujah!!!
Good luck!

Was that hard to do?  I have been that desperate......milk of mag doesn't work for me either!! Funny what did - a taco from Taco Bell!! lol!!!!

I seriously think I feared the enema more than the surgery lol!
It was not as bad as I feared and well worth the nearly instant relief!

While on liquids, miralax worked well for me and was pretty gentle too.

These days I do a combination of things:

Fiber tablest 3x day
1 colace (stool softener, not a laxative, 1x day)
2 Tbsp chia seeds, made into a sort of pudding with 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, + sweetener, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg to taste) (Just mix it up and let it chill in fridge for about 30 minutes)

When all else fails - back to the miralax
