Let's talk CONSTIPATION

Am I the only one who's dealing with pre-op constipation? I'm on Medifast with one meal a day, but for the life of me, I can't poop. I know the iron is constipating, but I'm eating my lean and green one meal a day and can't do a deuce. Senna gives me horrific cramps and MOM just isn't working. HELP

I take Miralax (generic version) am and pm just to have a bm every couple of days. When I get desperate, I will add a dose of Milk of Magnesia. It seems to be a side effect of all the protein.

 The high protein diet will do it to you everytime. I use peri-colace (generic) every night. Works like a charm. 

Try to keep it natural ...Activia yogurt will work at regulating you.   It gets better.  I am 5 years post op.
