@ms.sss I just stopped taking Codeine.
So what you all are saying is to prepare for a long uncomfortable ride. 😭

I will consider mirilax as a staple. right now i e been taking Colace

My first post is on the humble, so folks be gentle. I am officially 3 weeks post op VSG.
I had the most awful experience with Constipation and i wanted to know what did you all do to stay regular through this process?

PLEASE HELP, because i’m so scared to eat now.

chronic Constipation is a very common problem among WLS patients - or at least sleeve and bypass patients. A lot of us take a capful of Miralax every day to keep on top of it. Others take stool softeners, or magnesium tablets, or things like Smooth Move Tea. Just figure out what works for you and do that. Sometimes it gets better as you get further along and can eat more Fiber (fruit, veggies, whole grains), but for a lot of us, it's a chronic issue. I've been taking a capful of Miralax every day for five years.
