What do you do to prevent or help constipation?

Just spoke to my surgeons office and they said milk of magnesia. Anyone have any experience with this? 

Yes it tastes bad. It works colace and miralax were mentioned at my surgeons along with magnesium citrate

MOM is going to give you the runs and clean you out. Try Miramax twice a day drink lots of water too

I have had to use Milk of Mag, it works. You don't want to take it daily. I use the Natural Calm magnesium that I get at the surgeon office. It seems to be doing the trick!

I only had trouble while I was on really low calories. Since maintenance I haven't had any problems. I don't take fiber, or anything like that. The last time I had a vegetable, Bush was president. (The first one). 

The only thing I can guess that keeps me regular is, I get a lot of fat in my diet, and I drink a lot -- about 200 ounces a day.

Obama salad emergencies

That was hysterical. I apparently have never had a salad emergency.

But I was shocked. There are M&Ms in trail mix? I've never had trail mix.

Native Americans carried pemmican which was dried berries and venison.  They traveled for long distances and needed a quick source of protein and carbohydrates.  Now people are taking a half hour hike and need 2000 calories of nuts, raisins and chocolate to keep up their strength.

The salad emergency did make me think of you.  I also remember that white house garden when the president first took office which gave the impression that the family lived on salad and fresh vegetables.

When I'm president, there will be cattle grazing on the White House lawn. Save taxpayers money on cutting grass. And there will of course be an executive order exiling vegans to another country. California, maybe.

California is a great choice.  I used to spend a lot of time there in the 1990's and people were scandalized when I ordered steak instead of vegetables.
