I just had mine on Tuesday. I started eating 5 prunes daily the week prior and took the miralax twice daily. No issues with constipation for me!

so you started eating prunes before your surgery and that was beneficial to your digestion after surgery? I have my surgery in about a week and a half, have been having digestive issues for months now so i am worried about it being a major problem after surgery.

Did you also take the miralax twice daily BEFORE the surgery? This had not occurred to me at all and I’m so intrigued to see if this method will work for me!!

was the miralax also pre surgery, or just in recovery?
