pamypsoup 11 Posted December 22, 2012 I have not gone yet and am concerned! Thinking about getting a suppository. Any suggestions ? I don not want to drink that magnesium citrate Sent from my iPhone using VST I had mine on the 17th and I haven't had 1 did the milk of magnesia make me so sick with the taste of it... felt my mouth salivating ...... seems like the whole pre op diet only had 1 first week of the pre op diet.....don't think I've had 1 for a week before the operation.... had a few pebbles at the hospital but I thought that's what is giving me such a bad headache being constipated......but I don't know what to do... guess I'm about ready to get the garden hose daddy says...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pamypsoup 11 Posted December 22, 2012 My surgery was done on the 17th of December and I did the pre op diet for 2 weeks only had 1 bowel movement that first week....... only because I took a laxative .....I'm probably pretty constipated they did a suppository at the hospital that's what I had caused a few pebbles when I got home I did duclox laxatives... today 2 teaspoons of milk of magnesia this morning and still nothing... maybe it's all the drugs I was given in the hospital didnt take that much pain medication was in there for 3 days after the surgery......

thensley820 1 Posted December 22, 2012 Well I will try milk of mag and see what happens! That last BM was when I was in pre op and I think that was because of the antibiotics they gave me! Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blueyes32 5 Posted December 22, 2012 I was the 17th and no bm here yet other than the tiny pebbles at the hospital....anyday now i keep saying!!! If not today maybe Monday ill get something for it.
