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:
