I had LB surgery on Nov. 24. Just this last week I had a terrible bout of constipation - painful! I've never experienced anything like this before and I REALLY don't want to experience it again.

I have been trying to get a lot of Water down, but it is a challenge when we aren't supposed to drink for about 3 hours before/during/after a meal. I love veggies, and think I get plenty of Fiber.

So what gives? Any suggestions or tips you can give me?

Have you tried Miralax? Thats what I use and I dont have the same problem you do.

I'm with you. I had tried everything, ... because I didnt realize you could buy Miralax now over the counter. Last time I got it from a prescription. To those suggesting using something else, if you have a real problem like some of us, nothing works as well as Miralax. It regulates your system to be normal. Once you try Miralax you wouldn't go back to other things.

Miralax also doesnt clump like benefiber. Just one more little plus for miralax.

Thank goodness I found this thread. I won't go into details...it sounds like y'all have all been there.

Bought some Miralax today! :party:
