I have never had an enema before... Kinda scared to do that but if something doesn't happen by tomorrow night I'll have no choice...

You could try a glycerin suppository before an enema if you want to try that. Lotsa people have good results with that. If it doesn't work, could follow up with the fleets

You might do a fleets ...I use mirlax and stool every night you might try Prume juice ....

I know it's no fun.. I had some terrible times in the beginning with constipation.

You just want to be careful to not let it go to long and get impacted..

Please don't wait till tomorrow night. If you want to try something I would put a rubber glove or better yet have someone else put the glove on and GENTLY help things along. I know this sounds gross but it will help. I would also use some type of water based lubricant. (This is only if the u-know-what is knocking at the exit door). Probably TMI but from my own experience it does work.

Miralax in a hot drink works for me.

Miralax and fiber gummies! My surgeon told me to start putting Metamucil in my drinks to prevent future constipation.

A glycerin supository will soften the chute enough to get things moving if it hurting that bad. Then you can work on the fiber, etc.

Try Miralax it's clear and can be mixed with most liquids. No taste 2 me. I just had my 1st BM tonight. I had my surgery on April 9th so I was a lil concerned but my dr recommended.

How long after taking miralax will it take into effect I took 3 table spoons of miralax n 3 through out the day n still uncomfortable n in pain :-( I'm desperate

Miralax works for me within 24 hrs. You might want to call your doctor and see what they recommend. For maintenance, daily Benefiber is an option (or veggies once you are cleared). Water is extremely important--more than you think you can drink to keep things moving. If you are severely distressed, check with doctor's office about an enema or something like Go Lightly. Don't do either without dr's approval though. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks I'm going to be 3 wks out on Monday n I've been like this for like 3-4 days now and I haven't even lost any weight :-(

My doctors off is closed during the wkend but I'm going back to the drug store today or gonna try more miralax I'm desperate at this point

Oh n I drink well over my 64 oz of water a day but I don't know what's going on :-(

I was horribly constipated until yesterday. I took 4 colace over a period of two days and finally, after hours trying and what I describe as giving birth, that ordeal is over. It wad horrible!

Two more days :-( oh nooooooo I don't think I can handle 2 more days... I don't know what giving birth is (not yet hopefully once I reach my goal) but let me tell ya it's the worse pain Ive ever experienced :-( I wanna cry sooo much
