    Miralax, every-single-day! Even if you are doing good. On days you aren’t doing well, take 2 doses. It took me weeks to become regular. My GI doctor told me that Miralax is the only medicine on the market that your body doesn’t become immune to. And soluble fiber, not the gummies or tabs.

    What about your Water intake? I find if I don’t get enough then Constipation is an issue. 60 ounces of water is my goal every day, my surgery was 12/18/17.

    As I neared the end of my weight loss phase as I transitioned into the maintenance phase, I found Constipation became a major issue. I became so constipated that I had to rely on glycerin suppositories (that I had to shove up my rear end every few days) to unbind me.
    Eventually I found a cure that worked for me. I found that if I ate an apple each night before bedtime, by morning things were good. But it was important to eat the skin of the apple in addition to the pulp of the apple.
    Other past recommendations from this site to deal with constipation were:
    Smooth Move Herbal Tea
    Prune juice (warmed)
    Prunes (4 in the morning and 4 at night)
    Magnesium citrate
    Insoluble fibers (Garden of Life Raw Fiber or Renew Life Triple Fiber).
    Haribo sugar free Gummy Bears [Warning: eating too many can cause severe diarrhea]
    Aerobic Magnesium 07
    Ground Flax Seeds (but don’t try to grind it yourself). Use 2 tablespoons per glass of Water every night before going to bed.
    Bowel Clear (herbal blend)

    I'm in MN too. A little over 3 weeks post op, 27 lbs down, have had good and not so good days so far. Today was a good day.
