what do I do?

Yeah, you wouldn't think just missing the water most of the time with the exception of a day or so wouldn't put you into no BM mode. Sorry you're going thru this.  I think it was Julie a week or so ago gave us a link to the Water solutions site (check back posts) and I bought some. They are little liquid packs you take with you anywhere and you add them to 16 oz of water for flavor and they don't have aspertame in them (Splenda is better for you and thats whats in these) They are pretty good. I especially like the wild berry flavor.  Take care my friend.  HUGS  Jeanine

Jen and Jeanine have given you lots of great advice.  I'll chime in a little as well, and hope that some of it's helpful.   I had to tinker around with various fiber supplements, stool softeners, liquid intake, etc. before I found a routine that allowed me to have regular BMs (usually every day or every other day).  When I finally figured out a routine that worked for me, I stuck with it every day, regardless of what else I have going on.  My PCP counseled against daily or frequent use of MOM because it can cause a build up of magnesium in your system.  She prescribed Miralax for me instead, since it does not have the same long-term risk as MOM but functions in a similar manner (it's an osmotic).   My daily routine is to drink at least 64 oz. non-caffeinated fluids, eat at least 25 grams of fiber, take 3 stool softener tablets at the same time as I take my iron, and to take one dose of Miralax at bedtime.  Keeps me as regular as clockwork - thank goodness.  You're pretty early out, so getting 25 grams of fiber from food may be a challenge for you.  You could supplement your fiber intake with Metamucil or Benefiber as well to get you up to that 25 grams range.   Good luck finding a routine that works for you; it's a little different for everyone, so keep tinkering until you find something that works for your body!!
