I have been battling this same issue since my surgery 02/27/2014. I was finally referred to a gastroenterologist 05/12/2014

I was advised that I need to try a regiment of Miralax (2 cap fulls daily) and also ex lax or an enema every 3 days

My surgeon recommends Milk of Magnesia + stool softeners (dulcolax, Senokot) for quick relief, and for people who need it, an every other day dose of Miralax to keep things regular after that.

I take a BIG mouthful of lactalose. I promise you... Give it 1.5 hours and you will be pooping through the eye of a needle.

It won"t be 'comfortable', per se - as everything moves REALLY quickly. However, you will feel like a new human being afterwards.

Happy pooping :)

A full cap of milk of magnesia (4tbsp) but you have to also drink a glass of Water when you take it. Stay close to home for a couple of hours:)

You did an entire dose of magnesium citrate (the fizzy stuff in the glass bottles) and got no results? Honestly I would check with a medical person (your doctor, possibly the ER if you are in pain) rather than an internet message board. If you aren't getting anything with magnesium citrate you could be impacted and that needs professional seeing to from my understanding.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
