I had that problem and still do some. My surgeon recommended Miralax daily after I got cleaned out. It helps. Just mix it in a drink and you can't taste it

I am on two stool softners a day and if I don't go at least everyother day I have to take milk of magnesia. ugh but it works. I may try the mirlax next week after my to work trips.

I did 2 days of M of M and then tried the Miralax. I even broke down and had a 1/2 vup of coffee and still nothing! Which stool softeners do y'all use? I'm not exactly in pain but I feel sort of "backed up". does that make sense?

I love freebies and it so happens on the day I was complaining about not going to the bathroom, 2 Citrucel samples came in the mail! They work great and 2 a day keeps me regular.

Mine are colace. But you can get the generic stool softeners at many pharmacies and Walmart. They keep the stool soft but do not make you go. Fluid is key to bowel movements. Warm tea or broth usually helps me. I usually have a bowel movement every couple days after three I began to worry. Miralax is a great product also just take a dose daily.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
