This maybe a little TMI but I was sleeved 1/21/13, and have yet to have a BM. I wasn't really worried at first because of being on liquids for a week post-op, but I started eating pureed this past Monday (5 days ago) and still haven't gone. This also did't really have me too worried because I'm not getting a lot of food in, only about 1 tablespoon in 2 maybe 3 times a day. But this morning I woke up and thought today was the day... I can feel it movin in there and I've been extra gassy (TMI again, I know) and when I go to the bathroom I feel like I have to go but noting happens. It's painful being in there and it's painful trying to get it out, my abs are hurting from all the pushing. I tried taking a hot shower, and thought about Miralax but it would take me forever to drink all of it... ANY suggestions are greatly appreciated, please help!!

HAHAHA

VICTORY is mine!!! Thank you everyone for all the advice, I think miralax and i will have a long and happy relationship

Im trying to drink the Miralax today, but it doesn't want to stay down (nor does food). Im not throwing it up but i have all these bubbles that feel like they are trying to escape and pushing the food/drink back up, then the food slides back down. My mother suggested glycerin suppository, has anyone had to stoop to that?? The thought of it makes me shiver

Thank you so much everybody. got some miralax tonight so hopefully things will get better, the thought of having to drink Milk of mag is enough to almost scare the poo out (i remember giving it to my son when he was little) ... yuck

how do you mix your mirlax? if i mix it to package directions, it will take me hrs to drink.
