TMI alert: Milk of Magnesia ok?

So, I haven't been able to...go...in over 2 weeks now. I've read several posts about not using stimulants. Hubby picked some MoM for me, but I'm not sure if it's safe. I know there has to be SOMETHING out there that I can take. What would you guys recommend?

I was told I could use it but, call and ask your docs.

I wasn't given ANY information about this from the doctor. I've tried calling my surgeon, but he's preparing to deploy, therefore not in the office, and the bariatric nurse is on vacation.

I saw that and was fixing my post!  I was able to us it.  I started with a very small does.  It was the only thing that worked for me.  I could see not using it with the RNY & DS not sure why you couldn't with the VSG

I use smooth tea and it works for me. You can leave steep for as little or as long as you want.

I've never heard of that! Where do you find it?

I asked my docs office that same question today as it isn't unusual for post op patients to be constipatied.  They recommend MOM for post op patients.  Later, it is recommended to use metamucil for regularity. 

Ok great! Now DH doesn't feel so bad! hahaha Thank you!

I buy the smooth tea at a health food store or bulk bar in Canada.

My surgeon recommends colace daily and Miralax as needed.
