Constipation

I am sorry this isnt the best topic but I was wondering if anyone had problems with constipation before surgery?
If so do you still have problems?
I am afraid this will interfere with my weight loss-
Any suggestions- ?
Thanks

Yes
I had problems
Just take a stool softner everyday.
It will work

Same here, I had a constipation issue before surgery and I still have it after surgery.  I take a stool softener a couple of times a week and if things get really bad, I'll use Milk of Magnesia.  Once you get out far enough it helps to try to eat certain foods to keep things moving, so to speak.  Kashi Go Lean cereal and Flax Z Snax hot cereals work well for me.
Good Luck!

All of my life I have used several differnt things- I was hoping for someone to be able to tell me something I havent tried yet-
My surgery is wed and I have to drink the phosphate stuff - at noon on tues- did you have to drink this and did it work?
Thanks
