I'm 2weeks out haven't been able to go to the bathroom in 4 days I have taken stool softeners any other ideas

Miralax is safe:)

I would take it

I also use "Smooth Move Tea". Best stuff on the planet. Just make yourself a cup of tea at night you'll be good to go in the AM. Love the stuff!

Lately I have been using the chocolate ex-Lax. I eat only 1/2 of a square, and I have been regular the last 2 days.

Miralax each day until liftoff. It can take a week postoperative.

Google bowl aid recipes. Look for one that has you hydrate dried fruit in senna tea then puree. You'll be amazed!

I've had two awful bouts with this since surgery 6-23. I found that Miralax doesn't work unless you take it daily. If you're in a bad spot right now and need to make something happen, try a 10.5 ounce bottle of magnesium citrate. My husband introduced me to it and now I swear by it. I had a second bout after becoming less cautious and I did the magnesium citrate (sipping it along with another 8 ounces of water) along with three Dulcolax tabs. Yes, I felt even more bloated and awful for a while but it got better and within about 3 hours, it worked. Now, I'm taking two Dulcolax tabs each day and trying to drink a few sips of magnesium citrate every other day. I prefer to do that than go through what I went through before.
