CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted June 1, 2013 Well... the gold standard is Phosphate soda. It tastes nasty by it does work. It comes in a small bottle OTC and you mix with Water and drink it. If that does not help, contact your doctor to see about an enema. 1 2muchfun reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stept04 465 Posted June 1, 2013 You can also try magnesium citrate, it comes in a liquid form and in a couple different flavors. From what I remember it does not taste extremely bad, still not the best thing to drink though. Good luck, and yes if that does not work I'd see about an enema or your Dr. ~~~Stephanie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrsto 2,925 Posted June 1, 2013 Did you drink the Miralax every day? It works beautifully, but it's not a "take at bedtime, poop in the morning" type of laxative. A lot of times, it takes a good two days to kick in. And you can safely drink it daily for a couple of weeks. Even more, so I'm told. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ksaug21 81 Posted June 1, 2013 "Smooth Move" Organic tea works wonders for me. I drink it at night and the next morning it helps. It's been amazing for me. I got very constipated from only doing the Protein Shakes on my pre-op diet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got very constipated from only doing the Protein shakes on my pre-op diet. I have to agree. Nothing was working for me and finally I stumbled onto Smooth Move tea. Works great!!
