very constipated . . .
I don't know of any reason it wouldn't be OK.
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
I was in your shoes last week, but I had more of an impaction issue. After being in serious pain all day, I went to the emergency room of the hosp I had my procedure at. They were getting ready for manual intervention, part of which was a Fleet enema, but my situation resolved itself (very painfully!) before they could get to it. The emergency doc called my surgeon *****commended Miralax to get things back in order.
I say use the enema before you get to impaction. I am now adding Benefiber to my water and things have been good so far. Good luck!

HW333--SW 289--GW of 160 5' 11" woman. I only know the way I know & when you ask for input/advice, you'll get the way I've been successful through my surgeon & nutritionist. Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
Yes -according to my doc it is fine to use. I have to take 2 Colace at night and 1 in the morning to keep things from stopping up.
Hope you feel better.
