I really need to know.

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!!

Milk of Magnesia will do the trick. Watch our though. Explosions may occur.

I would stay away from light colored slacks, if I were you!?

Seems like when I was a small Frustr8 croton oil and castor oill were mentioned. Am I wrong?

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!

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

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

Good times.

I learned this the hard way while at work.....

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

2 bottles. Impressive! 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. ??

Buy ducolax which is bisocodyl
It’s like an explosion take them just before bed or u will suffer
