***TMI***

I guess Ive not been drinking enough fluids to go with my high protein shakes cause Mama has been Backed up!!

I normally have a regular like clockwork body. Get up, have coffee....then go.

But the past 3 days, it's been little to none. By the time I thought it was becoming an issue, it WAS an issue! I started getting concerned since my surgery is like TOMORROW! I was straining like I was going to give birth again in time for Mothers Day today. So I placed a desperate call to daughter who picked me up some Dulcolax, some Glycerine Suppostories, and Smooth Move Tea.

The tea did nothing but make me have the urge, the Suppository just made it feel worse, and the Dulcolax just hadn't had time to work. I Drank water yesterday until my pee was almost clear!! Finally took a second Dulcolax last night and forced down some Metamucil. Yuck!

Had a small tiny bit of relief right before bed but was mindful of my plight with every toss and turn as I slept. This morning...coffee...and I Gave Birth....(I swear I didn't push that hard when I had either of my 3 daughters!!!

Alas, I feel I have Triplets so the deed is not done.

My Surgey is Tomorrow so I hope I get things "Moving Along" in a normal fashion today.

Not sure where you are at, but at Walmart there is a colon cleanse that is completely herbal. It works in hours, and I do mean hours. It's around $8 and is in a small white bottle near with blue on it. It will be kept with the laxitiv, anti-gas and such.

Milk of Magnesia did it for me! 2 - 3 tablespoons full and lots of liquids. In about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs, it was GO TIME! No cramps or feeling like it was an emergency, just that little feeling of, "you need to get to the bathroom soon." :-P

Yes I used Milk of Magnesia also around 9 days after surgery because being on a liquid diet you don't produce much in your own poop factory if you know what I mean lol . ... So I hadn't gone for a while and didn't want it to get excessive. I took 2tbsps and after a while HELLOOO Nelly! I didn't have any cramps but there was some "urgency" in the message. Good Luck!
