Surgery on 9/30/14

I have to take three Colace capsules a day plus use Benefiber just to keep from getting too constipated.

I still can't get much in the form of veggies. Still a struggle just to get all the Protein in each day.

Will this ever get better?

Hi there! I had my surgery on 9/29/14. I too was dealing with constipation every day until about 3 weeks ago. The biggest change for me has been adding more vegetables, nuts and making sure I get a minimum of 60oz. Of water per day. I also get my protein in. I believe it is a combination of those that helped resolve my constipation.

I am not taking any stool softener at this point and I hope my luck continues!

I ran into a severe problem with constipation. What cured it was eating an apple just before bedtime. But I had to eat the skin of the apple. I have been constipation free for over a year now.

Others found that using an herbal tea called "Smooth Move" helped.

Whatever you do make sure you are drinking the required amount of liquids each day. Constipation is a sign of not drinking enough liquids.
