The poop won't come lol every 2-3 days I can go a little but have to take laxatives to really go! I take stool softners and fiber supplements everyday. Any other advice to get more regular? Is the small amount of food just gonna slow me down and I'm never going to go everyday again because there just isn't much food going in!? HELP!!???

I was 3 weeks post and couldn't (poop),spoke with nutritionist, suggested I try prunes. I'm regular now, almost 10 weeks. I can eat salads now which is great and keeps me going, pun intended.

Milk of Magnesia works well for me, although I hate the taste. But I've added two daily prunes to my diet and aloe juice and haven't needed the MoM. I've been faithful about Water and exercise, so unfortunately those solutions didn't make a difference for me.

@@HealthyJudy, that's interesting you're not allowed calcium citrate for 3-4 months. I had to start taking it as soon as I got home from the hospital. The different recommendations are funny.

Yes they are. I can't eat prunes -- no fruit. Do you add them to your daily carb allowance? I hate the taste of MOM too!!!

Yes, I can eat any fruit. I definitely add them to my carb allowance, so I'm often in the 50g range. But maybe I'll try the smooth move tea and then I can just eat the prunes a couple times a week. As long as everyone is losing weight, I'm guessing the different recommendations are fine. Still strange though! Haha.
