What is the most powerful, gut-exploding laxative I can buy OTC?



Recommended Posts

The most powerful butt-explosive laxative on earth would be...drumroll please...

sugar free Gummy Bears. I don't think they would be WLS surgeon approved. :D

Here's a review from an Amazon customer (oh and they're only available in 5lb bags... :o )

Good times. :D

I wish there was a good OTC option! I had to resort to mag citrate twice after surgery, but it’s fizzy so you have to let it go flat...and it’s super nasty!!
Now I take Linzess daily, plus a stool softener three times a day and drink Smooth Move tea every night, and I still only go about every 2 weeks. It’s awful!!

I drink 16 oz of Water with 1 tablespoon of Metamucil every night and every morning I have a regular visit to the toilet after going 3 weeks with almost nothing. The first time I did I lost 3 pounds I was so excited!

Just now, Lillymunster said:

They had me drink 2 bottles of magnesium citrate the day before surgery. That stuff kept working for days.

2 bottles. Impressive! :D Colon Blow 2000. :) But I swear, they wouldn't let me do a bowel prep before surgery. The bastages...I had concretions. CONCRETIONS. It was like giving birth to Rosemary's baby! With TEETH! LOL. It was truly gruesome.

So I would have much rather dealt with the mag citrate before hand. Did you have any issues with Constipation afterward?

Mineral oil everyday is what my surgeon recommends.

It wasn’t fun. That lasted for a few days after surgery. No issues since then. Things aren’t “normal” but they are moving. I think all the Water and walking is what is keeping me from getting constipated.

anybody remember castor oil? Dumb doctor wanted me to drink Orange juice and castor oil to put myself into labor. Remember telling someone I think I'm greasing the Wrong Hole here! FYI , 50 years ago and Baby ##1 still didn't come for 3 days and she never has showed up on time for anything else. That was RD short for Rotten DAUGHTER, and I have a story about her 365 days a year, always one if those in every family, I gave birth to MINE.😞👸😏

Y’all... the struggle is real. Almost 4 months post op and I pray to have the runs nearly every day. I take colase every morning... and drink Smooth Move tea at night... and then drink milk of magnesia if things getting really out of hand.

This morning I was so out of sorts that I got nauseas and vomited while clearing the pipes. My failure to produce is really starting to get worry me and I need to find some routine to keep me regular. 😩😩

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
