Help

Before I had surgery dairy products caused me to suffer with constipation. I have had Lap Bypass and I am constipated and feeling sick any suggestions.

Hi Tiffany, I can only offer the advice I got from my doctor. He said that it is normal to only go every 2-3 days after bypass surgery. We aren't taking in as much food, therefore there isn't as much to go out. If we haven't gone after 4-5 days, we're supposed to try Ducolax suppositories, 2 times if necessary. And if that still doesn't do the trick, we're to try Milk of Magnesia. Oh, and be sure you're getting at least 64oz. of water every day. I hope you get some relief soon! Kath S.

I was so miserable I finally took some Milk of Magnesia....Oh what a relief ...Thanks.

Yay...I'm glad that worked for you! I'd never been constipated in my life until after this surgery...thank goodness it's only happened once. (knock wood!) Kath S.
