My surgeon recommended Miralax to my mother when she had trouble going and passing gas after her surgery.

It worked like a charm and she never had trouble again. But it is NOT immediate. It takes a couple of days to work.

I have used it probably twice a year since my surgery if I feel like I'm getting "backed up" or having a few days where I can't go for whatever reason. It always works for me no trouble. It's the just WAITING for it to work that sucks. LOL (Oh... and the way you have to disolve it in liquid... imho there's no hiding that thickness which grosses me out too. lol)

Good luck!

Keep in mind I am pre op, but do have a band. I go through times when I remember and drink it in my coffee every morning. Everyone is correct it isn't quick but if you use it daily it can help you be pretty regular. But I was wondering myself if after rny we could use it.

I don't notice it in my coffee at all.

reminds me think I need to go add some, been having some trouble myself lately. Lol

Years ago when you would hear ADULTS talk about their bowel movements or lack there of, I thought that was the strangest thing, don't think it is strange now. A person has to poop just has to.

I have had miserable Constipation since rny in May. Dr recommended miralax after suffering for 3 months. It took 4 days but it works well. I just dont know how to get off. I suddenly feel so much better I do not want to stop. It has made me so much lighter feeling and I suddenly felt thinner. Crazy eh,

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
