Tim try taking stool softeners 'daily' this might help. My Dad also stayed away from pain meds as much as he could because of constipation. Do your cans have fibre? that helps also.

Tim what is a 1300 calorie shake? sounds good!

Amy thanks; that's interesting.

Hey Tim you are almost finished; way to go! Just remember, it does get better.

I had met a real nice man online who had finished his treatment a few months prior to my Dad's treatment; and he told us many times that it does get better. And he sure was right!
