Try Smooth Move, a tea. Works great within a few hours and my doctor approved it.

Miralax and Senokot or Colace. If you take Miralax make sure you drink an extra glass of Water that day!

I took Ducolax. I got the Kroger brand because it was cheap. I was about 6 or 7 days without pooping and was worried. I ended up taking one around 11am, one at bedtime the same night, and one at bedtime the following night. Voila! The next morning ( day 9 without a poop), I was relieved. Not impacted which was my fear. I did have a few cramps over the few days, but they didn't last long. I hope you feel better soon.

Are there any "unsafe" meds that VSG patient absolutely should not use?
