When is the last time you went?

I feel for you.

I have not been able to go without the help of Miralax and Milk of Magnesia. I can go for over a week without going and then if I take those to things, I finally get relief.

Since you have tried those things already and still can't go, I would check with your doctor and let him/her know that you are unable to go to the bathroom and tell them that you feel bloated. Maybe he/she can suggest something for you.

I am still taking pain med and I know they say that can stop you up.

When is the last time you went?

Sometime before I had my surgery which was November 28th

Go to the ER or at least call your Dr.

My bariatric nurse told me it would take 9-14 days without a BM after surgery. It took me 9 days and finally went. It was very loose and funny. So apparently that's normal... but I felt super bloated. And especially after soft foods, I had to take miralax and milk of mg to get things moving again. Now I go about every 2-3 days.

If things get super uncomfortable and painful, go talk to your doctor or go to ER.

Miralax can be taken every single day if needed. It is not the kind of laxative that you will become dependent upon. If you are taking pain meds you will also be somewhat constipated especially if they are opiate based. You won't be pooping like you used to. You are barely eating enough to fuel your body so much of it is being used to burn off calories etc. There isn't much left over for waste at first. Call your dr and follow their directions don't screw around trying this and that when your dr may be able to help you right away. That is what they are there for and what you paid them for.

I know this question has been asked but, are you drinking enough Water? Also, my nutritionist advised me to do suppositories. You have to take miralax for a week before it starts working. Now I have a regimen of a cup of miralax every morning followed by a tablespoon of benefiber through out the day in my water bottle until I reach the recommended amount of Fiber for the day.
