Bowel Movements

I'm a year and 3 months out and my movements are not regular. I probably go every three days or so and when I go its uncomfortable and "really firm". Any suggestions on how to make it more regular and easier to move.

Thanks!

Miralx, you can get it over the counter and dissolves into any drink.  It is unflavored and I don't even know it is in there.  Hope this helps. 

You can also take dulcolax which is a stool softener.  Drinking lots of water helps, and exercise.  Don't forget, you are taking in much less food, and burning most of it, so you three days is not unusual.  Actually, it is more the norm!

I just wanted to make sure that I'm not the only one here. I just feel like sometimes not to sound gross but I'm clogging the toliet. Is this normal for most people? I just dont want to be the only one. Thanks for your help though.

I was just in the hospital and had the same problem.  Dr. Paciulli recommended Philips Stool Softener.  As for the constipation part, 2 capsful of Miralax in the morning and Milk of Magnesium at night.  That's what I am on.
