Constipation

Hey all, So today marks my 6 weeks since surgery date, and it was quite literally probably one of the WORST days of my life! I spent the day in the ER because of constipation. I had to be disempackted and given an enima. I am taking to the boards to find out now what people are doing to help prevent constipation. I never had any issues before the surgery so didn't really think much of it. I now know! :(

    Miralax! I was told to start with 1-3 doses a day to get things started. Then to cut back to a maintenance dose. At 4 months out, I now take 1 dose every other day.

I'm five months out. at this point constipation remains my biggest enemy. Colace seems to be consistently good. smooth move tea is good, but not every day. I eat yogurt almost every day, too. The Apple is the best. But it took me a while to be able to eat one with the skin. I have it with PB2 every night. It is a total treat. Good luck.
