What is the most powerful, gut-exploding laxative I can buy OTC?



Recommended Posts

The most powerful butt-explosive laxative on earth would be...drumroll please...

sugar free Gummy Bears. I don't think they would be WLS surgeon approved. :D

Here's a review from an Amazon customer (oh and they're only available in 5lb bags... :o )

Good times. :D

I wish there was a good OTC option! I had to resort to mag citrate twice after surgery, but it’s fizzy so you have to let it go flat...and it’s super nasty!!
Now I take Linzess daily, plus a stool softener three times a day and drink Smooth Move tea every night, and I still only go about every 2 weeks. It’s awful!!

Seems like when I was a small Frustr8 croton oil and castor oill were mentioned. Am I wrong?

I drink 16 oz of Water with 1 tablespoon of Metamucil every night and every morning I have a regular visit to the toilet after going 3 weeks with almost nothing. The first time I did I lost 3 pounds I was so excited!

Just now, Lillymunster said:

They had me drink 2 bottles of magnesium citrate the day before surgery. That stuff kept working for days.

2 bottles. Impressive! :D Colon Blow 2000. :) But I swear, they wouldn't let me do a bowel prep before surgery. The bastages...I had concretions. CONCRETIONS. It was like giving birth to Rosemary's baby! With TEETH! LOL. It was truly gruesome.

So I would have much rather dealt with the mag citrate before hand. Did you have any issues with Constipation afterward?

Mineral oil everyday is what my surgeon recommends.

It wasn’t fun. That lasted for a few days after surgery. No issues since then. Things aren’t “normal” but they are moving. I think all the Water and walking is what is keeping me from getting constipated.

anybody remember castor oil? Dumb doctor wanted me to drink Orange juice and castor oil to put myself into labor. Remember telling someone I think I'm greasing the Wrong Hole here! FYI , 50 years ago and Baby ##1 still didn't come for 3 days and she never has showed up on time for anything else. That was RD short for Rotten DAUGHTER, and I have a story about her 365 days a year, always one if those in every family, I gave birth to MINE.😞👸😏

Y’all... the struggle is real. Almost 4 months post op and I pray to have the runs nearly every day. I take colase every morning... and drink Smooth Move tea at night... and then drink milk of magnesia if things getting really out of hand.

This morning I was so out of sorts that I got nauseas and vomited while clearing the pipes. My failure to produce is really starting to get worry me and I need to find some routine to keep me regular. 😩😩

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
