Anyone having trouble with constipation and finding something gentle on your system might want to try Phillips laxative. It's a non-stimulant laxative that works gently and doesn't cause cramps like the stimulant laxatives do. I looked around for a while until I found this. Just 2 pills a day keeps you regular. Here's where I get it.

thanks i have some at home so maybe i will use them if the protein shakes dont work for me

My surgeon said the constipation is caused by all the dense protein we eat after surgery.

Shoot, the first several weeks post op, all I had to do was have 4 oz of apple juice per day. (Low sugar Mott's for tots) That WAYYY did it. But....everyone is different.

I was sleeve may 24th and this is the first time since surgery to have this problem! It's been 5 days, tomorrow to the store to get something, collace hasn't done a thing

Try the Phillips, I think you'll be pleased with the results.
