Slow transit constipation and surgery

Right now I’m having pretty good results with the medication but have already had to increase the Miralax. This always seems to happen. Something will work for a while and soon my body seems to somehow adjust and it will quit working, I will go as long as I can before taking that HUGE leap. But once the constipation symptoms again dictate my life as before, that will be my deciding factor to move forward.

Ditto ! I have exactly the same problem.
Something works for a while and then it just quits !

I'm not sure what kind of diet you've been following, @sallyw133, but I've recently discovered that a low-residue eating plan has worked better for me than any high-fiber diet.

I've had three surgeries of the upper digestive tract so the cause of my constipation may be different than yours, but I read about the low-residue diet and thought it would worth a try. My thought was, "nothing ventured, nothing gained."

Do you follow any particular type of eating plan?
