Gross I Know But I Need To Poop

I need suggestions. My bowels have not moved since last wednesday morning. gross i know. eating right, drinking probably 80 oz water a day. got decent fiber, protein etc in my menu. I have never been a good bowel moving person. Ever. I usually go every 2-3 days but now my belly is hurting and it has been 5 days. Like to see the poop gone asap. LOLOLOLOL. If I cannot ask on here then there is no where to go. You all are my lapband buddies and family.

Seriously, prune juice!!!!

I tried everything out there on the market.
Drank prune juice and it helped immensely. 

I do have to tell you, though. I went for 2 full weeks being constipated and it turned out that my stomach was twisted and my bowels kinked. So, if you continue to have constipation issues, you might want to have your doc check you to make sure everything's OK.

Good luck! 

Senokot is all natural and stimulant free. I have IBS and have bowel issues. This will work!!! maybe try Miralax daily to get on track as well. Nothing worse than a belly ache hope this helps

I take chewable Benefiber but my nutritionist has recommended that I start Miralax.  So when I finish the chewables I'm going to switch.

i periodically take a geriatric stool softner to keep things regular.

Once you get things moving again, it might be a good idea to start taking a stool softner too.

After 3 stool softeners didn't work took large dose of Milk of Magnesia and large glass of water.  Works everytime.  I lost 4 pds in a mater of 4 hours last night.  I know really TMI but trying to impress on you it does work when things get bad. 

Never have tried the milk of magnesia. I will go get some of that today. Thank you all for your comments. Like I said I feel like you are my family on here and this is what family does we help each other out. Have A Great Day.

I'm with you.  I am suppose to take benefiber twice a day but I usually forget and only get once in and therefore I don't go well either.  If I would get the twice a day in I think I would be better.
We don't eat much and therefore we don't **** much.  Prune juice never helped me in my pre-band days and now I wouldn't want the extra liquid calories.

1  teaspoon daily  coconut oil in hot chocolate works great my dr says stay with it

Fiber One Bars in the cereal section at Walmart has 9 fibers and I eat one ever other day and I use the bathroom everyday and I had the lapband in Nov of 2010. I eat the chocolate chp ones....They taste soooo good!!!
