Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 The only time constipation has been a prob. for me is when I don't get enough water. I understand that many other people have issues with it though. My list of post op recommedation is to take 30cc of milk of mag. or senakot pills. You might want to see what your dr. recommends.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 I definitely notice it!!! The doc had me start eating a fibrous cereal every other day for breakfast. Can't eat much of it mind you but it seems to do the trick. Candi A personal question...Sorry Just wondering if anyone has noticed constipation post-op? I never had an issue before, but now......Thanks for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Sherri, I too get a bit constipated at times. I have re-discovered Acidiphilous tablets which I take 2 of every other day. This not only regulates my bowels, but because it is a friendly intestinal bacteria, it keeps any odors at bay as well as keeping my insides clean and in good balance. Before I remembered how helpful acidiphilous was, I was drinking a cup of tea called Smooth Move. It's made with Senna leaves which is a natural laxitive and the tea tastes great! Whatever works, I hope you feel better, A personal question...Sorry Just wondering if anyone has noticed constipation post-op? I never had an issue before, but now......Thanks for the advice.
