I too have had major constipation issues since surgery on June 12. I saw my doctor Friday and talked to him about it. I am taking two stool softeners and miralax a day. That wasn't working so he said I could use suppositories, enemas, and/or magnesium citrate. I had a hard enough time getting the magnesium citrate down before surgery, so that has become my last resort. I have used the enemas and they really seem to help. You have to be careful with them though because it can lead to dehydration.
