Too much Constipation

I'm 5 weeks post op and until now i lost 29 pounds i think it's slow but everyone is different and since one week I'm having bad constipation my stomach sounds but no stool .

I'm started to get worried that this constipation is getting worse and it has made me stall in my journey.

Also my doc wrote me a lactose syrup to take but it didn't work .

Please any suggestions

      If I haven't gone to the bathroom after 3 days (which has only happened twice), I use Milk of Magnesia and it clears it right up. (Just take a sip or two, though...)

    I'm exactly 2 months out today. I've had the same exact problem with constipation this whole time. Milk of Mag did finally work, but I had to take it twice a day, 3 days in a row.

    Now, I take two stool softeners every morning and I drink Miralax every morning, to try to keep myself more regular. I also purchased a squatty potty from BBB, and that has also helped. I wish I could say that I don't have any more probs with constipation, but I still do. Note: everything I'm currently using, is at the suggestion of my surgeon and the PA.
