Yeah! I pooped!
Since then my routine it is like clockwork, right down to the hour most days. And I still feel like telling strangers on the street about it.
I only wish they had Miralax around when I was pregnant. I might have been able to enjoy my pregnancies instead of being miserable between the constipation and hemorrhoids which were caused by the constipation. I even wound up in the ER because of the constipation.
If they ever stop making Miralax I am screwed.

I feel for you. I've dealt with constipation too. I take 3 stool softeners a day. That, along with a couple of pieces of sugar-free chocolate a day, and I'm "good to go" every day (pun intended). However, I will still occasionally pass a BM about the size of a large cucumber.

I had no trouble with constipation since my surgery, though, until I started taking a new med for depression about a month ago. I think that is what has been causing me trouble lately.
