Trouble With Going To The Bathroom

[sweetsoutherngirl 32]

Thanks so much for asking this question! I was hoping there was a topic on here already about this!

I am nine days post op and I was having issues before my surgery and I am still having issues. I think I will be picking up some Miralax today.

Senna plus (senna-s) is also an over the counter pill, that really works also. 1 or 2 tabs daily or every few days and it works. It is not harsh on the system, gentle and easy to take.

Just so you know - it can take a combination of adding Fiber and making sure you're drinking enough liquid also or you can get severely constipated and that is hell! Been there and done that before surgery and after...stool softners are good also. Contrary to some beliefs you don't get dependent on them honestly! walking helps too - I guess it's the gravity effect! Good luck all - Linda

OTC miralax is same as prescription. The strengths are the same. Difference is that if you have insurance it is much cheaper to get the prescription PEG and a larger amount... Although, many store brands are coming out now , Walgreens, Walmart, CVS, so you should see the price go down... You can easily buy OTC with same results as prescription ....
