Constipation - Help!

Thanks gang!  Went to Wally World and got some Benafiber and generic Dulculox (sp?) tabs.  Took 2 and hope by morning things will bust loose. It's a real challenge for me to get all my water in -- I feel SO full all the time, I'm sipping all the way until bedtime to try to meet my water requirements. I'm only on day 5 and hope that with each day, I'll do a little better. Whew, this is hard work! 

I had horrible constipation from the pain medication after surgery.  Almost ended up at urgent care but thankfully it was avoided. Once I was 'cleared out' again, the doctor recommended I take a small dose of MOM every morning and evening to keep things moving.  I eventually tapered off that and replaced it with regular use of Benefiber.  

I just took Dulcolax for the first time tonight. Hoping it works for me too! Gained three lbs in two days and I'm on track with my eating and calories. I notice a gain when I haven't been able to go for a few days so hoping this helps. Lol Thanks for your advice (that I stole off this thread) lol
