Entereg started in preop blocks intestinal effects of pain killers
After discharge Movantic or Symproic daily serves the same purpose if you are discharged on opioids/narcotics
Over the counter laxatives like Miralax and dulcolax can help, though these should be taken while supervised by your surgeon.
