Has anyone used this after surgery?? I haven't had a BM in 4 days and I feel uncomfortable. The tea I drink isn't working and the other meds would take too long,

I would think that would make you sick because of the amount you would have to drink plus I think it's carbonated. I'm having a hard time and have used enemas and suppositories.

I was using colace in the beginning with one time having to use Milk of Magnesia (spelling?). Since then I've been doing fine on my own.

Milk of magnesia works well:) Dr recommended it, otherwise Miralax

I hear you on that. I have to find something that works..Co lace, tea doesn't help. And I hate the enema part. I mine as well buy them by the case at this rate...lol

I had to drink a bottle I think 11oz at 5pm the day before surgery. Yes it works! But it doesnt feel good. I can't imagine using it post op.

Try other stuff first or ask your Dr. It was a funky awkward mega diahrea feeling.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
