Has anyone had issues like this?   I am having bowel movements every day ...2x a day since Tuesday this week, but I still feel bloated and sluggish.  I ate a salad for lunch yesterday and had turkey chili for dinner last night (mmm) and had a very productive BM this morning but still feel bloated and heavy. Any suggestions? BTW, I started drinking one cup of caffienated coffee in the morning last week on Monday.  I don't add that into my daily fluid consumption totals because of the caffiene content and am still getting 75-80 oz of fluid in a day (almost all water or crystal light...very little milk or other fluids)

Maybe increase your fat intake slightly?  That definitely helped me.

When I travel or have any issues my DR has told me to take Senakot (it's available over-the-counter). Two pills swallowed before bed at night. Works every time! My morning latte actually seems to do the trick for me each day.

I obviously have not had surgery yet, but I have read on another board to try Miralax...just add it to whatever you are drinking. Jennifer
