Constipation

[Donna0526 0]

I've had the same problem since surgery. My surgery was on 9/12 and I had my first bowel movement about a week later, and the second last week. This is very unusual for me; I have always been very regular -- everyday at approximately the same time!! I have used Miralax and have also starting eating Activia yogurt. Hopefully, the yogurt will work as advertised.

Donna my sister had hurt surgery in May and she uses the Activia and said it works well for her... I hope it works great for u..

I bought activia for that reason. Didn't believe the ads, but I'll tell you, since starting mushies, (and I start real food today) I can tell you this.... it's a lifesaver for me. And only 70 calories (light version), for 4 ounces. Leaves me feeling full, and I go almost daily, little bits. But if I miss a day, I'll go right back to constipated.

Oh I tried the miralax, the colace, and even the benefiber. Not much relief, just lots of gas.

I have had this problem since surgery 07/30/08. We tried everything.. Now on Colace 200 twice a day and a magnesium tablet. On top of it all I have pulled my back out... I sound like a whine bag... But I hurt... I was just the opposite before surgery could go all the time(sorry for being gross).. I hope these meds work.. But I would hope they would wait until I get off work:):redface::cursing:
