Peggy Jean 41 Posted September 12, 2014 I have had the same problem since I started soft foods. Never had a problem when on the liquid diet. I took Miralax the other day and it cured the problem in a day. Sure hate taking it all the time though ... I know I wouldn't be able to get a prune down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ke-sa 10 Posted September 12, 2014 I didn't poo for 21 days. During the time I was on colace, dulcolax, and 2 enemas a day. When i finally pooped I felt amazing. Im still on lactolace and 2 enemas a week. Just to maintain some type of relief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jolisue 112 Posted September 15, 2014 Omg! 21 days without pooing! You must have been worried. I'll bet you dropped a good number if pounds once you finally did. Did you have to go to your doctor for this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ke-sa 10 Posted September 15, 2014 Yes I had weekly appointments with my PA to resolve the issue. I finally had some relief it was massive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roostertail2 98 Posted September 15, 2014 My Dr suggests Dulcolax and Miralax. I drink a very small amount of the Miralax in my coffee each morning - then on Friday at bedtime I take a dulcolax. It seems to be working pretty well. I am someone who has always had an issue with this though so a week is not a major concern for me! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patsy1947 42 Posted September 15, 2014 Thats what i do to, Miralax every night and stool softeners everyday so far so good. if i still have a problem i will hold my nose and drink prune juice lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itsmekarenlee 129 Posted September 30, 2014 I've been stuck, both on weight and #2. Weight for three weeks and #2 for a week. I drank Smooth Move tea last night and this morning, after #2 decided to evacuate, I lost 4 lbs. Whew! What a relief, in both ways! (Although it was most inconvenient and interrupted my treadmill time with my friend. :/ ) My stomach/intestines were grumbly for a few hours and I didn't feel so great but hey, it worked!

Kloe Kariki 1 Posted November 18, 2014 As a post gastric bypass patient I had problems with Constipation for the first time in my life. My doctor recommended The Lady Soma Fiber Cleanse & after 3 days of taking the capsules there was no strain, no stress. Every morning (without fail) I would have a nice bowel movement. It's been 3 months since that experience, & I've gotten my mother using Lady Soma too, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
