Hate to have to post this..but no one home to run to the store..have drank laxative tea..salt water..tons of water..couple spoons if honey..three and a half hours of hell..any ideas???.. have walked..now in a bath trying to.relax..still nothing

Women's laxative Walgreens brand. Works wonderful. It's normal to be constipated cuz of the surgery.

It might be too much to take now after all the other stuff you just took but call your surgeon's office and ask him to prescribe you a heavy duty stool softener.

Oh and forgot to mention that the pain meds they give you are usually the source of all the constipation.

I am 62 days post op..prob should have mentioned that..thanks

Oh and its after 10pm here..don't know of any 24 hour pharmacy .....

and start taking colace twice a day. go and get a bottle of Magnesium Citratt from the pharmacy. drink only 1/2 the bottle and watch it work. after you finally go. start taking colace twice a day

Hope it all comes out in the end for ya

Cup of coffee works wonders if you can't get out. I started drinking one every morning and no problems. It's the only caffeine I have and drink plenty of fluids during the day so it works for me.

My nutritionist told me to get some baby food prunes and have on hand for constipation that may occur after my surgery.

Oooh, baby food prunes is a great idea.

Hi,

You are constipated because of a lot of reasons. One being we eat a lot of Protein and that tends to constipate you. I use Miralax every day. It is NOT habit forming and I have been doing this now for 3 1/2 years. I use one cap full in a liquid--it has no taste so for me when I have a Protein Drink in the morning, I just mix a cap full in the protein drink. You can stir it with a spoon or put it in the blender. I actually get mine at costco, because I can get 3 for a great price. But any drug store sells it. I recommend that you use this ever day and you will NOT have this problem.

Right now you may have to use it 2 or 3 times a day until you are no longer constipated.

Take care

Suzanne

Glycerin suppositories. Can get at any wallgreens

If it is that bad you may need to work from the other end I know it is gross, but I use to work in the nursing homes and I am experienced with this. Get a Fleet enema, use a ****** bottle enema with warm water (adding a couple of drops of dish soap can help) or put a pot of room temp coffee in the ****** bottle enema (it washes and the caffeine stimulates movement). These work almost instantly. Just take it slowly and use KY...ugh sorry. Hope you feel better soon!

It bleeped what I wrote in my first post, so that bleeped word is another name for a feminine wash bottle..hehe. Good luck.

Finally got to store..trying suppositories...pray it works fast!!..picked up other laxatives..for future

I have been having the poop issues also. Tonight I took Philips colon health and it worked like a charm good luck!!
