AnewG2012 12 Posted October 19, 2012 My surgeon recommended a stool softener. Colace works well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squisha 99 Posted October 19, 2012 i was told to try a stool softner first and if after 24 hours that didn't work to do a laxative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
imgonnaloseit! 30 Posted October 19, 2012 I was told to try Fiber products such as Benefiber as this may be an ongoing issue since we don't really eat a lot. But see what your doc allows first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
