It will be 4 weeks tomorrow since my surgery. I have been stalled for 2 weeks. I think one of my problems is I do NOT go to the bathroom (sorry TMI). Can I take milk if magnesia? I heard it could expand my stomach?? Just want to make sure.

Milk of mag works great and it doesn't cause cramping

Milk of Magnesia is what my bariatric paperwork said to use for constipation. I got some and used it only once. It works, but it makes me sick at my stomach. I shudder when I even hear the name of that stuff from hating it when I was a kid. When I mentioned the constipation to my surgeon, he told me to get some Miralax. It's a powder you stir into your water and it seriously has no taste. I have a very strong sense of smell and taste, and I cannot taste the powder. It works well with no cramping.

I will take the MOM for a quick relief and use miralax daily. Thank you for the info!!
