Yes, I’m back on schedule.

Miralax can be taken as a daily dose in order to get yourself back on a regular schedule, and colace can also help soften stools if there's an issue of compaction from constipation/dehydration. For future reference, in addition to upping your fiber and hydration, your posted situation is an appropriate time to try a gentle laxative and or a suppository. Glycerin suppositories can help you go, and senna is a gentle laxative. There's a "smooth move" tea that basically guarantees a poop in 6 hours or less.

I haven’t had a bm since Saturday or Sunday, thanks ozempic. So I decided to take some miralax 2.5 hours before I have to go to a family birthday party. I thought it would work before I have to leave but no.

Best guess. Will I survive?

You need to see a Dr.

No I don’t. Sunday, or even Saturday to Tuesday is fine. It’s uncomfortable and not ideal but doesn’t indicate anything other than I’m on a med that slows motility if I don’t eat enough fiber and drink enough water.

Lessons learned. Keep up on the fiber, and miralax takes several hours.

Miralaz takes several days.

Not going for more than 2 days is worse than a little discomfort. It is not healthy.

The price you pay to be skinny the easy way

OP, did you have any success yet?

Bisacadyl and fleet enemas work if it gets super bad. That's the last step before the ER.

Just know that I messed up myself by not having a BM while traveling and it was due to just travel and holding it in and I had to get endo/colonoscopy and have had minor issues since that trip 6 years ago. Take care of your body!

Ask about a short course of Metamucil.

My spouse had opposite issue on a semaglutide; nonstop diarrhea with anything eaten. No wonder they lost so much weight. Do most people get bad gi side effects from these drugs?
