Have you tried Milk of Magnesia yet? That should get things moving!

Milk of Magnesia is good for short term help. The Miralax is good for long term consistent BMs. It may take a few days of consistent usage of the Miralax to work. Pain meds slow down the intestines, and the liquids you are consuming provide little Fiber. If you are not in pain, just be patient with the Miralax. It WILL work.

You should call your surgeon and follow his direction! Do it now; 8 days is too long to wait. Good luck!

Had the same problem my doc said stool softeners,one or even two a day if needed,and no worry of becoming addicted to them.Boy did that help me a lot.
