...to get your bowels moving? I'm still pre-op but the past two weeks with a reduction in calories I find myself in need of something to help. I've tried Benefiber and it isn't helping.

Benefiber just helps to firm up my stools. I take Miralax to keep me going and it's awesome and non-habit forming.

Gwen, that is what I bought today. How often do you use it?

I started off just using it every morning I didn't poop. But after a very bad instance of constipation a few weeks ago, I've started using it every morning in my protein shake. I do NOT want to go through that again!

Yeah that doesn't sound pleasant!! I was worried about taking something daily but thrilled Miralax is non-habit forming.
