Hey everyone!
It's my first post, and it just had to be tmi.
I haven't had a bowel movement since the morning of my surgery. I can pass some gas, and I took Miralax 2 days in a row with no result. The surgeon's office seemed more concerned that I was passing gas. Did this happen to any of you? How long did it take to resolve? I stopped my pain med yesterday, so that should help.
Every time I drink liquids, my stomach hurts and I get a pain in my right side. Protein drinks are hard to get down. Maybe I should not refrigerate them?
I tried sugar free chocolate pudding the other day. It gave me cramps like I'd have to go to the bathroom, but nothing happened. Now I'm afraid to eat any more of that.
It's hard for me to walk because of spinal stenosis, so I am going to try moving through using my recumbent bike. I can sleep on my sides, bend pretty well, etc, so going gently with the bike should be okay.
Generally, I just feel pretty blah. I guess I did just have major surgery, and I've been on this liquid diet for 3 weeks. Another week to go...
