When Do You Take Miralax?



Recommended Posts

Hi! I used to take it am/pm. Half of the dosage each time. It made things 'flow' better. If you can tolerate supplements, Magnesium pills are also good to take. That's all I have to take now, with only the occasional need for Miralax.< /p>

No, don't do that! It's not a laxative. It just helps you to have a normal bowel movement. There's no cramping, no sudden urge 'to go.' If you are constipated already you should take MOM. Miralax is more for 'maintenance. Do be sure to drinking lots of Water because how it works is it pulls water to make your bowels soft.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
