rte837 141 Posted March 29, 2016 Water and walk. Don't obsess. If it causes PAIN, then your MD can recommend something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kanaud 70 Posted March 29, 2016 Smooth Moves Tea. One cup at night before bed, you're good to "go" in the morning. Only that worked for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rachelwags 19 Posted March 30, 2016 Well let's just say it finally cleared up but it was painful. I am going to try and figure out a regime that keeps it working Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jandbmom 16 Posted April 2, 2016 That as been my biggest problem post surgery. I am 6 months out on 4/7/16. I have had to try a lot of different things. I tried Benefiber 3 times a day and that didn't work. I added in generic Colace (docusate) three times a day and I still had trouble. I now do Benefiber once a day, the generic Colace 1 in the morning and 2 at bedtime and then MOM 2TBSP every other night. I finally am comfortable with my BMs. I had not heard about the tea that was mentioned, but I am going to look into it. I cannot stand the MOM, either flavor. Good luck!
