I have this problem. I was banded Jan. 30, 2012 and didn't have this problem until recently hitting the green zone. I have been 7 days between bm's. I have tried miralax but it just makes me really gassy and cramp.

If it has been 2 or 3 days I will drink a cup of coffee. Usually within the hour I go. Sometimes before I finish my cup!! Lol.

I just bought the Vita gummies. I will see how that goes.

Milk of magnesia works wonders for me. i have a little pink cup full in the morning when i am filling a bit "off". After i have my morning coffee things seem to be "moving" right along just fine and dandy.

Get your Fluid in! Drink as close to 1 gallon a day as possible. Then use Ex-Lax chocolates.

Guess this is one time in life being lactose intolerant is a good thing. If I need to get things moving, a small cup of milk gets the bowels working!

8 ounces of prune juice every morning does it for me. It's good and good for me.

I have NEVER in my life had a problem with constipation... Until now. I like a lot of these suggestions as three correctol every few days just seems, IDK, like too much.

The same here with milk of magnesium. The Decaf coffee loosens everything up and all is okay.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
