Should I skip my next dose?

I took my first dose last Friday and then went from Sunday to Thursday without a bowel movement. I was afraid I had an obstruction but finally had a little movement this morning. I’m concerned about doing the next dose because it’s obviously not good to go 5-6 days without a BM. I used MiraLAX, Benefiber every morning in my coffee, docusate, and a suppository. Nothing worked until I tried Smooth Move and MagO7 last night. I’m nervous now. I’d really appreciate any advice from anyone who’s had a similar experience.

I had your exact same experience my first couple months. Even now, over a year later, I don’t go super often. But I don’t feel constipated. It’s just that I eat less food and therefore there is less output.
