Is it just me or is this a common side effect from a VGS procedure. It's me and my MiraLAX.

I think it's pretty common, I am over 3 years out and it can still be an issue for me. I'm guessing it's because of the high amount of protein we eat. I found that adding a little bit of fat to my diet helps, and also when I can squeeze in some veggies that helps too.0

Yep, I have it more frequently. Like @garber6th said, adding in some healthy fats and vegetables can really help and make sure you're getting your water in too.0

Definitely a problem for me! I take colace every day. It helps..0

For the first few months it was an issue for me. So much so that I bought the 3 pack of Miralax at CostCo! The past year or so I've been pretty good. I think lots of natural fiber in fruits and vegetables help a lot.0

My surgeon tells us to take the 5 scoops of powdered fiber daily - not just when we're constipated. I've found doing this makes a huge difference.0
