constipation

Have anybody had any Constipation during the liquid diet before surgery?

Yup! It's all the Protein in the shakes! It was bad the first week for me, then it got easier because I increased Water intake and all I was having were liquids; I guess there was nothing to be constipated with. My advice is more water, if at all possible Which day are you on?

I take Metamucil with my shakes. I usually take 4 Metamucil with two shakes per day.

Hello do they sale metamucil in any store?

Ok not to be gross, but everyday of this preOp diet I'm stunned that I'm actually having normal BM's and more than one a day! Normally whenever my body is going through a change I get severely constipated!!! It's been recommended to me however, that in case of Constipation Senekot tabs work the best...good luck to all!!

I buy it at Publix but you can get it at almost any regular grocery store (not discount like save-a-lot or Aldi) and Walgreens/ CVS. I use the capsules because the powder is disgusting
