I am on day 5 of my pre-op diet and am excited that I have lost 9 pounds, HOWEVER I am so constipated. I am drinking tons of water, I get two fruits a day and steamed veggies along with my protein shakes and grilled chicken or fish. I have also taken two doses of MiraLAX--one yesterday and one today. Still NOTHING!! This is horrible. Any other suggstions?? I just got off the treadmill but could only do about 10 minutes. My tummy just hurts. UGH!!!

1 tablespoon of milk of magnesia worked wonders for me. Kicked in about an hour after I took it. Cleaned out my colon like there was no tomorrow.

Prunes and prune juice, the most natural laxative there is !

Try adding non flavored benefiber powder to your protein shakes ect.
