Constipation 2 weeks post op HELP!!!
Have you tried Miralax? It's odorless, tasteless, and it work. I just put it in my coffee each morning. Works like a charm! After things get moving, you can cut back a little on the dosage or take it every other day or whatever works for you. Walmart carries a generic brand called Clearlax. Works just as well. Good luck.
I know others are suggesting different types of laxatives in your water... but just how much water are you drinking? Are you drinking your 64 ounces of water yet?

I didn't poop until 9 days post op and Googled everything to help me go and stumbled upon Squatty Potty's website and what I did was use a step stool and did the same thing the squatty potty does is to help you squat and I was finally able to go. Miralax helped me few days afterwards but discovered that if I eat a container of Tree Top no sugar added apple sauce it helps me poop every day.
Post surgery i was dealing with major constipation. I went ten days without going. This continued for a while. I am finally starting to get regular. I was prescribed amatiza and take colace twice a day. Definitely make sure you get enough water. Currently I am going aout once every three days. This was the worst side effect from the surgery.
