Right now, if you get that urge to go, you should go! It does sound like maybe the miralax, at the very least, probably exacerbated things a bit.
You know better than anyone about what your body is telling you...if your regularity has changed since surgery, it is probably related. But that doesn't mean it's permanent! My system was in an uproar during the first week, so let me tell you, hang in there for a few more days, chances are things will calm down soon and your old rhythm will return!
