Mira-NO-Lax

One month out... Miralax is not working... Any other suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Miralax doesn't work for me either. At a month out you should be cleared to use Ex-lax. I didn't have any issues after my sleeve surgery but after all three of my plastics procedures I was a bit stopped up, so to speak. Ex-lax fixed the problem in about 6 hours, while Miralax and Dulcolax didn't do jack.

Try Philips Milk of Magnesia should work in a few hours.

Try aloe vera juice. You can find it in the laxative section at Walmart. I drink 4 ounces every other evening or so to stay regular.

I used benefiber. It works well for me.

My surgical team recommends Milk of Magnesia + Senokot for Constipation. I have rarely needed it, but when I have Milk of Magnesia works like a charm for me.

Non-drug things that may help you along: prunes, black coffee, all bran Cereal, exercise.

Thank you all so much. Looks like I'll be heading to Wal-Greens!

Miralax didn't work for me at that point either. I use Milk of magnesia a couple of times a week now to keep things moving, plus some miralax in the "off days" to keep things going. You will find the combination which works for you.

I bought some MOM tonight. Going to give it a try tomorrow. Thanks for the advice! Does this last forever???
