My doctor said Miralax and Milk of Magnesia are your friends pre-surgery and post surgery. The way they advised to take it is to take milk of magnesia to deal with things if they are already blocked up, then miralax daily to keep things moving. A lot of our post surgery members here have a capful of miralax every morning or evening, it is safe for longer term use since it is stimulant free. (Milk of magnesia is a stimulant.)

I'm feeling good! A little nervous but that's to be expected. I've finished one week of my pre-op diet, two weeks to go!! I will say though, if you are prone at all to leg cramps and have to do a pre-op diet, make sure you have an electrolyte mix on hand. I got wicked charlie horse cramps in both legs about 48 hours into my diet. Thankfully I had anticipated this and had an electrolyte powder that's low carb on hand and as long as I drink some every night the potassium and magnesium in it have held the cramps at bay!
