No bowel movement in 9 days!

[O-Town Body Rock 148]

Yay!!!

After 11 days, I have FINALLY unclogged my pipes!!

The Miralax mixed in prune juice was a success. Took about 2 1/2 hours. No cramps or nausea just weird tummy sounds. Neither Colace nor MoM worked for me. The miralax concoction is a winner!!

I was starting to worry that I had obstructed bowels or whatever it called. Whew!! THANK YOU GOD!!!

I went over a week with no bowel movement after surgery and was freaking out. My doctor said it was typical while on the all liquid diet but i could take MoM or Miralax.

Yay! Keep the miralax around. You will need it during your recovery until your diet is able to handle more Fiber. I still take Gummy fiber bears everyday.

Good luck!

I'm having the same problem too. I haven't gone in 6 days and I'm having a major stomach cramp. I took some MOM so I hope that works. Please send happy thoughts my way!

Rachel, if the Mom doesn't work, def try the mirilax/ plum juice cocktail. It cleared 11 days of "backup" in like 30-40 mins!!

Call. My dr told me no more than 4 days without a BM. You could be impacted, which isn't any fun.

Hi O-town, I have a question for you & the other members of Constipation Nation-

If you can only take small sips at a time, and Miralax clumps, how can you ingest enough for it to work? Do you just mix it into your unsweetened prune juice and try to sip it quickly & efficiently?

I am seriously struggling (to poop) already on my high-Protein, low-carb pre-op diet. I have surgery in 10 days and I'm worried about how it's gonna "come out"...thank you.

Yay!!!

The Miralax didn't clump nor have a taste. I add it to Gatorade, Apple juice, prune juice, etc. Now the Benefiber clumped! And it was like drinking liquid styrofoam. It's hard to explain. I will never take that again!

Anyway, I took little sips of my cocktail it until I was full. It didn't take much. (of the Mirilax.)
