Constipation

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!?

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

Oh well! I guess I'll just have to take these things for the rest of my life, lol. It's better than being fat.

Dont worry! Once your natural fiber intake increases with whole foods, you'll be less likely to get backed up. I suffered horribly during the Holidays (surgery in Oct. / constipation started at 2-1/2 months). If I feel like I need to go but can't, I'll take Colace stool softeners for 1-2 days then I'm fine. Salad def. helps, but I still can only eat 4-5 nice bites.

I take 2 Senna vegetable laxatives and a tablespoon of milk of mag. It seems to do the trick.

And it's better than being in pain.... :o

We'll get through this! I'm seeing my surgeon today & I have a long list of questions, poor fellow!

Molly3 I take it about every 3 days.

Miralax or MOM?

Not one person has recommended an enema?! They really work! Just lukewarm, filtered water is all you need. You can get an enema bag at at the pharmacy for $10.
