Got Poop?

[HetKF 33]

I'm having issues myself. Before surgery, I was regular...everyday and sometimes twice. Now, I'm constipated as hell. I have been adding benefiber to my Protein Drinks and pericolace. Then the benefiber didn't seem like it was doing anything so I stopped it. Needless to say, I screwed myself and am painfully backed up. Glue stick..lol.....it's more like a rock with spikes trying to come out of your ass!! It's pretty damn horrible....trying regular coffee right now to see if it will stimulate it outta there. I am going to have to try those chewable Fiber tablets and see if they work any better. I used Miralax when I was pregnant....works well. The pericolace is a stimulant/softener and what my Doc. recommended. This is all a trip isn't it?

I am loving the analogies . I used Miralax for my preop surgery-I had to take the entire 7 day dose the evening before surgery. I was sold on the effective then. I have just started using it again about every 3 days. Hoping that all things work out well.

I am one week post op. When should I expect to have my first bowel movement? It's been a week but since I am drinking clear fluids....will it happen???
