NSV and ow @ milk of magnesia

So I went "shopping" in my closet tonight and pulled out a bunch of my slightly smaller jeans/tops. Now wearing a 20/22 pants and XL/1X tops (down from 26w pants and 3x-4x tops!). I am THRILLED and literally have a whole new wardrobe after going through bags!

And as an aside *TMI* I was having some constipation issues the last two days and finally took some milk of magnesia this morning (30 mL, it said take between 30-60 mL). Been cramping and having diarrhea all day now. Should we take even less than the recommended dosage post-op? It was definitely way too much I think at the lowest dosage...

Best thing to do is stay ahead of it. I personally take 2 non stimulant stool softeners every night before bed, and I add in 2 scoops of benafiber to my drinks during the day. It seems to work well for me. Havent had any issues with constipation in almost 11 months. 

But if that is how you reacted to it, next time I would do half that dose. I did that stuff once 2 days after and it gave me the worst cramping ever. So wasnt worth it. So I do keep my fiber intake up, Because I dont want to do that stuff again.
