Constipation

5 weeks post surgery....Taking Benefiber and Colace and still horribly constipated. Anyone has any suggestions?

WELCOME TO THE FORUM!

Glycerin supositories helped me a lot. I used 2 at a time. Metamucil helped me too. I had that problem for a full year til I modified my diet to include fruit. Adding fruit has cut down my weight loss to a snail's pace so I don't recommend it.

I have had some issues with constipation relating to calcium, make sure your taking enough fluid and miralax works pretty good too. I called my surgeons office too for recommendations. Hope it helps, congratulations.
