Thank you, Hope! :) I will try and relax more if that happens again!
To be honest it scared the hell out of me when I didn't go but I drank water like a camel and took about a 1/2 tsp more of Miralax that night and like you said it went pretty good the next day.
Recently I had a little firmer bm and for the first time ever since LIS, I went into panic and pushed just a little and it made me a little sore. It kind of freaked me out because I haven't really had any problems with that since surgery and I thought after a year, just a small push wouldn't do anything, but I guess pushing a little is still not a good thing even after this long, but come to think of it when I first got my fissure I barely pushed and saw blood
I can't believe you are off the Miralax. That's awesome Hope! I don't know when I will get the nerve to stop. I'm still afraid I won't be able to go without it when I do.
I was on Colace for 8 months and have taken the Miralax for a year now. I have no idea what effect that's going to have on my bowels- if they will become lazy?!! I'm pretty sure I will have to be very careful with diet, etc when making that change with no room for slip ups with bad food and junk...
