I'm so freaking constipated! I haven't pooped in a week. I took 2 laxatives yesterday and STILL haven't pooped. What the heck!?

You can take a bottle of mag citrate....that will for sure clean you all out! Good luck! Oh, and if you do take mag citrate make sure to drink 16 oz of water along with it!

Try Konsyl fiber they have it at walmart wont give u the runs! lol! It's a miracle worker :-)

Thanks guys

I have the same issues. Tried fibre supplements, ex lax, glycerin suppositories with no results. I'm going 12-13 days without going and when I do go its hardly worth the effort. Tried getting more fibre from food but that impacted my protein intake!! It's bloody annoying. Need to talk to my gp about it, I think.

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I feel like I have a cork stuck in me. 2nd dose of Miralax this a.m. Dr. said to try mineral oil and fiber choice. A cousin of mine had a sleeve November of 2012 ( he is an R.N. ) and swears by Walgreens Smooth Move tea. I want to push a bit but afraid.

I know that when I eat green vegetables I do much better. Also the smooth moves tea does help.

You can't let that go for a week! I let it go for two days recently and left the bathroom in tears when I finally went.

Definitely try the tea, it's gentle on your new stomach, and works within a few hours. Constipation after anesthesia is very common. I went a week myself after surgery, but the tea solved it! Any sort of Senna tea, like Relaxx Smooth Move, etc.

I just realized it was actually 2 weeks.

I had the same thing happened to me. I had to go to Urgent Care. I had impacted bowels and they had to disimpact them. If you haven't gone yet, go to the doctors.

I tried them all, and Miralax was the most gentle and gave consistent results. Good luck.

I finally went. =) Mag citrate did the trick! Tastes awful but works. I'm going to make an appointment with my doc.

It has been one year since my sleeve and still have to take milk if mag. Thats the only way I can go.

Do you take it daily? How often do you take it?

Miralax almost every night & MOM 2x a week....this is somewhat working for me.
