Constipation. The word...there, I said it. And yes, I'm having issues. I have to admit, I thought I'd be the ONLY post-op pt to NOT have issues because I have been SO regular allll my life. But.....sure enough....I'm having issues.

So......what do I do? I mean, I know to drink more. But, seriously.....what works the best? Will I have to be constipated the rest of my life? Do I take something to keep me regular the rest of my life? What do I do for RIGHT NOW since I am only going a very little bit every day (with 2 stool softeners already).

I want to get a bottle of Mg. Citrate and just drink it and deal with the consequences.

HELP!!! :cursing:

I've also seen a suggestion of baby food prunes. Maybe that would help. I know in the past regular prunes worked me pretty good, so I'm going to keep that in mind when I have my surgery.
