Miralax experts
Colace works much better for me than anything else. I take one a day and that seems to be perfect (meaning a daily bowel movement). When I first stated it, I needed three a day, one in the morning and two at night. I am now finding that I can take one every other day, if I have enough coconut oil in my diet.
Hope everything works out, pun intended, and soon!
“Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self indulgence. What glory awaits us if only we had the courage for the mountain climb. What blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God.? JRM
I have struggled with this. Miralax doesn't seem to do much at all. Milk of Magnesia - doesn't much either sometimes have to take a dose two days in a row. Finally tried the herbal tea Smooth Move ..... it worked by the next morning, but if you don't steep it enough it doesn't seem to work as well.
Has anyone else been told to use Benefiber on a regular basis ? I was told to in pre-op paperwork, but Bariatric Nurse at the hospital said not good to use because it sits like cement.
Anyone else ?

Well, since I'm on even MORE pain meds, they've now got me doubled up on everything. That's 4 ducolace per day 2 doses of Miraxax and if things get bad, magnesium citrate. I did ed up with a suppository in the hospital it worked to get things moving, but didn't really help with the pain and volume isue
