Double question about soft foods and miralax

[Dfox1984 117]

Hi! I’ve been on soft foods for about a week and a half. I’m a SUPER picky eater so I keep eating the same things (eggs, yogurt, promier protein). I don’t want to gain weight by eating mashed potatoes every day. That sounds stupid, right? I’m only eating 4 bites of food, how could I gain weight? But I haven’t lost hardly any weight and this coming Tuesday I’ll be 4 weeks post op. Idk hat to do. Can I get some soft food suggestions? I was all excited bc in the binder my doc office gave me it said two weeks soft food and when I had my palsy op appt they said 8 weeks!!! I’m so sad so any soft food tips or ideas of soft foods would be great.

Ok second question: does Miralax not work for some people? I took it two days ago and barely pooped at all! Isn’t it supposed to make me poop a lot? Like get it all out?

Thanks for any help or suggestions!!!!

I wondered the same thing!!! I have taken two dosages of miralax (since I can't poop and haven't since surgery day) and today I finally pooped but it was hardly anything! Is that because I'm not really intaking much or is it just not working for me? I still feel like have to go. (I am only 4 days out)
