I’m 20days out and I’m suffering from constipation. I’m meeting my protein and water goals and I am active throughout the day. I tried milk and magnesium and it doesn’t help. Anyone go through this and have any suggestions?

Smooth move tea! You can find it in either tea section or health food section of some grocery stores. It has never failed me. Make cup of tea steep for 15 minutes covered squeeze tea bag n drink. By next morning or a few hours you are moving multiple times.

Ditto this post. I drink smooth move tea every night and am regular as clockwork. Initially, I had major problems because that much protein just backs a person up. I've started blending spinach, a few blueberries, and a few cranberries into my morning protein shake, and that also seems to have improved things. Once I backed off the shakes and started eating regular foods, things have gotten much better. Good luck!

I switched from mirlax to 3 colace a day

Pay attention to the teas. My surgeon told me that the senna leaf tea is creating dependence, meaning if you drink it for a longer period of time, you won't be able to go #2 without it, or other help. Do your own research on "Senna dependency".

Better to increase water and fiber consumption.
