I'm in the same boat and I'm just about 4 weeks pot op. I've taken Ducolax and it helped. I also heard warm apple juice or prune juice too! Good luck

My doctor suggests Mirilax but you should check with your doctor before taking anything. hope you feel better.

Most doctors recommend Miralax! Right after surgery is the best time to start it always happens! Pain meds will do it!

Please ask your doctor before starting something this early on your journey. My experience was very different. Liquids in liquids out.

Liquids in liquids out only on the liquid phase. Makes sense doesn't it, but you can still get constipated!

4 weeks out and same thing. I got the stomach flu and that cleaned me out but I don't suppose you want to doTHAT! Lol. Stool softener every day now. And Activia yogurt in the fridge. Haven't tried it yet but worked for me preop soooo...

Good luck!

I honestly don't understand this I been on like milk of magnesia since I got home I feel if I don't use the restroom I'm sick n stomach hurts

I'm on day 11 and I was starting to get jealous of the dog because he can go like clockwork. I wanted to celebrate, finally today, I had a movement. What a relief. lol. I never thought I would discuss this with anyone.

My doctor said to use milk of magnesia. I asked them on week 3 if I could use a pill instead and love dulcolax now!

I had the liquid poops the whole time.... Make sure you are hydrated. I had it until I couldn't take it and I took Imodium about 4 days before surgery and it worked like a charm.

IAM 3 MONTHS OUT AND I USE ONE EVERY OTHER DAY A MILD ONE BUT IF I DONT I GET VERY CONSTIPATED SO I THINK ITS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY ON GOING
