How soon post op should I start mitral ax?

I am 4 days post op when should I start adding miralax to my water?

I only take it as needed. But I also took docolax everyday I was taking pain medication because constipation is a side effect of pain medication and that is what my surgeon told me to do. 

I don't use it and have never used it. 

You should ask your doctor. I started liquid colace as soon as I went home and still got horribly constipated. After a bowel impaction at day 10, they added miralax.

I started using Miralax after one week.  It really, really helped.  If you're nervous, ask your doctor.  *hugs*

Regularity,

I didn't have normal bowel movements for a few weeks. I was on liquid then soft for 3 weeks or so. Liquid in=liquid out.

I'm killing myself laughing here - my brain read your autocorrect "mitral ax" as marital sex. LOL

LOL... YES AUTO CORRECT HAS ME LOOKING LOOPY. I WAS TRYING TO SAY MIRALAX....lol OOPS SORRY

No need to apologize! Shows you where my brain is at. LOL

THANKS EVERYONE I GO TO THE DOCTOR TUESDAY. I JUST WANT TO PREVENT TOO MUCH CONSTIPATION IF POSSIBLE.
