My nutritionist recommended Colace. I have been taking it a couple days and I haven't gone yet,but I'm hopeful...lol. I was using smooth moves tea, but there is NOTHING smooth about smooth movesand it made me feel bad.

Only use Miralax put it in your shake as its unflavored and you will go the same day if not the next day .. My Doc recommended it to me and I was so happy that I followed it .. Relief will come to you too!

Miralax is not meant to be used long term. It's ok for a few days. It can cause kidney failure if used long term. My mom died from kidney failure.

this has been my only real issue since surgery. I take a stool softener, MOM capsule and benefiber.

Doctor said if I still need the MOM at 6 months they will send me to a GI doctor who can prescribe something that would be better long term. I'm just happy that things are moving along now.

      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.
