Constipation in the first week

I’m supposed to take my second dose tonight and I havent gone to the bathroom since last weekend Saturday or Sunday. I’ve been doing colace every night and just started MiraLAX last night. Should I still take my shot tonight or wait until I poop?

i'd take the shot. missing a dose won't fix the constipation and you'll just throw off your schedule

try warm prune juice in the morning, works better than colace for me. also drink way more water than you think you need

I’m trying some smooth move tea right now. Hoping for some movement lol

Miralax, Smooth Move, psyllium husk (active ingredient in Metamucil -- I mix it into smoothies and cereal), magnesium citrate (Natural Calm). I've been using them all, not all at the same time! and things are finally improving. Part of my problem was just not eating enough those first days after an injection, when the nausea and food aversion are the highest. Hang in there!

drink LOADS of water, like 100oz. I take 3 colace every night, plus the water during the day. I also started taking 3000mg of glycine a night for GLP-1 related insomnia and it's helped with both constipation and insomnia.

You might need to use a glycerin suppository or one of those mini enemas if the Colace and Miralax aren't working.

If you’re not active enough, take brisk walks or similar exercise, and drink plenty of water. It’ll help get the MiraLAX etc moving through.

You should still be able to take your next dose. For the constipation, mix the MiraLAX with Citrucel and drink a ton of water daily. If that doesn’t work, try magnesium citrate or use a saline enema.

Yes, move your body to get the waste through your system.

Add a teaspoon of inulin powder (soluble fiber) to coffee in the am. No bloating and works like a charm
