#2 Please Help

[KASA 0]

So I kinda figured a #2 would take awhile and I did not worry about it but then I Google it and it says most people go by the 3rd day and if you get to a week call your doctor, its Sunday night at 10:30 I can't call him now but I will first thing in the morning until then if you would be so kind to you share your experiences please...Am I not normal at all?

Took me over a week. Doctor told me, little input = little output. Iron suppliments might have something to do this also. Call your surgeon in the morning to feel better, but sleep well tonight.

Took me over a week for the first one too. I only go about once a week now due to eating so much less I'm sure.

Same here, took about a week and even now 1 mo out very little, mostly liquid. Again, if solids are not going in there is nothing to come out....

It took me 5 days and that was with the help of Benefiber.

It took me 2 days after getting out of the hospital (so on day 6 after surgery).......perhaps all bodies are different. I put a little benefiber power in my Soup a few days ago and it made me go so much it scared me. I think from this point on, I'm going to let mother nature take its course-------unless I really have to take drastic measures. Blessings2u--bj

It took me a while to go... longer than a few days. I had surgery on 9/20 and hadn't gone when I went for my follow up appmnt on 9/28. My sugeon told me to take Milk of Magnesia and boy did that help. The only thing was, I wouldn't go unless I took it. It wasn't until I started my full liquids phase (cream soups) that I went and when I moved on the mushy/whole foods I had no problem. I believe the lack of going is due to your food intake. I would certainly consult your doctor but I think you'll find the more you consume the more you'll go.

I wish you all the best,

Niki

6 days after surgery. Was just getting ready to start on Miralax. Went for post op today and she said that was perfectly normal. The problem comes if you Feel like you have to go and can't.
