This may be TMI for some but I feel like I need to mark down when I go and when I take either my detox tea or a dose of Miralax. I don’t take either regularly but I feel like I get backed up if I don’t.
I do drink plenty of liquids - more so than I ever did before surgery - but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
Protein I think has been known to back people up, and I’ve also had more protein this year than ever before in my LIFE but that’s a requirement of life after surgery so I need to find a way to get regular with all the protein I ingest.
I’ve never had constipation issues before surgery. I’ve always been regular and never had rock hard poops or to strain. I’m happy to have had the surgery but I need to get myself on a regular routine and I need to mark it all down to be able to figure out a routine.
So here goes:
9/9 - I had to go but it was rocks, I did go more regularly after 2 cups of coffee.
I took 2 detox teas tonight because this was my first time going in a week!
9/10 - Firm BM first thing in the morning, I believe thanks to the detox tea
9/12 pebbles after coffee but at least I went, feel unfinished

can you eat prunes? i find them to work better than miralax (or maybe less intense).

you're right, I shuld get some. I have the feeling of them - I don't like to eat squishy things - but I might eat one.

oh i like them, i think they are like fruit snacks (which i also like) but probably a little better for you :)

I might try prune baby food cause I just hate the texture of prune/raisins

Adding in some fruits and vegetables really helped with regularity.

I'm not a big fan of fruit but I eat a lot of salad!
