Milk of magnesia post op?
My doctor said to use Milk of Magnesia, and follow directions on the bottle.
However, I would recommend taking half a dose. I took a full dose and it gave me diarrhea that lasted for a day and a half.

Same here my surgeon recommended it but I found it disgusting to drink...and I needed help until I could get on some soft veggies...called him back and was cleared for Miralax, bought the Walmart version, its a tasteless powder and worked wonderful, MOM gave my diarrhea and Miralax just softened things up.... good luck with it...
