SkinnyCubanChick 150 Posted March 4, 2013 Most doctors recommend Miralax! Right after surgery is the best time to start it always happens! Pain meds will do it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please ask your doctor before starting something this early on your journey. My experience was very different. Liquids in liquids out. 1 Roxie Deleon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkinnyCubanChick 150 Posted March 5, 2013 liquids in liquids out only on the liquid phase. Makes sense doesn't it, but you can still get constipated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bandedally 12 Posted March 9, 2013 My doctor said to use milk of magnesia. I asked them on week 3 if I could use a pill instead and love dulcolax now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
npohuski 11 Posted March 9, 2013 I had the liquid poops the whole time.... Make sure you are hydrated. I had it until I couldn't take it and I took Imodium about 4 days before surgery and it worked like a charm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
