nikki123 5 Posted October 6, 2012 I know this is a bit too much info but since surgery I have had issues with bowel movements sometimes I go a week without one :/ what do it do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted October 6, 2012 That happened to me, too. Try taking a Fiber supplement daily. If you're actually getting constipated, take a stool softener (NOT a laxative) like Colace daily until you are a little more regular again. Good luck! 1 ElleG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildrose1966 396 Posted October 6, 2012 I started stool softener the day after surgery..........not working as good as I would like, but things are moving a bit. 3 weeks out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

critterlady 3 Posted October 6, 2012 Same thing happened to me! I think I pooped about 5 days post-surgery, and it was literally like an m&m!!!! All those suggestions are great! Plus, walk! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
