Constipation

Has anyone had constipation? If so, what has relieved the problem?

Milk of Magnesia is what I hear helps

I am 6 months post-op and have just begun to have constipation problems. Here is what helps me...Fiber tablets (at least 2 a day). I have also tried stool softeners (with limited success). Glycerine suppositories work if you get to the point where things just won't move at all. Of course, adequate water intake is vital. I have noticed I always seem to be constipated 1 or 2 days AFTER I don't have adequate water intake. I believe this is the key to avoiding this problem.

I also had the same problem with constipation. It was annoying when literally everyone I asked said, "WATER, WATER, WATER". But when I started drinking the proper amount of water, the problem was solved. I've never had constipation since then. If that doesn't help, contact your Doctor for the proper stool softener.
