How offen do you go #2?

[BigShow 4]

I am 2 months post op... I'm only going about once a week.. I am not having any types of pains or cramps.. Is this common with any of you guys?

[redhead_che 824]

Surgery actually helped my regularity. I go daily most of the time. After 2 days of nothing I take Miralax or milk of magnesia. I’d ask your doc if that’s ok to not be going much...mine would say every 3 days or more.

Thanks.. I plan on calling the doctor tomorrow. I was just curious what other people are experiencing. I'm not sure if it has something to with me not eating a lot of calories I'm still probly only doing about 600 A-day.

Dang. I used to be so regular. My morning constitutional. I miss you so. LOL.

Now if the trains don't move down the tracks by Day 3, I'm blasting them out with either MOM or 3fl oz of Mag Citrate. I'm taking 2pills daily of Colace, taking Miralax 17g daily...le sigh.

I think a week is too long. My instructs are to call my doc if no BM by day 4.

That was my thoughts too but like I said I'm having no pains or cramps.... And when I do go it seems normal... But I do plan on calling the doctor tomorrow

Me too! About twice a week or every 3 days. My doctor said it’s normal Bc I’m not eating a lot of Fiber

I go every other day. 2 months post op

I usually go daily, with the help of 10 psyllium fiber capsules a day. Any longer than that and I’ll end up with a blockage, and passing those is not fun.

Before my RNY I went many times a day. I had the back door trots after I ate every meal. Now I tend to be the other way!! But..I have a new friend that stays with me all the time..MIRALAX!! My new best friend!! It is pretty gentle and it doesn't hit you like a ton of bricks. I guess it isn't a laxitive, it pull fluids from your body. This is what I have learned. GREAT STUFF!!

Lucky if it’s every 3 days [emoji849][emoji17][emoji30]

I’m eating mostly Protein, so have to take miralax daily. I go every other day or so.

Thank God! Regularity restored thanks to 2 colace + Miralax!

Will be resuming psyllium in about 3 weeks. Can NOT wait! :D!
