So the last time I pooped was Thursday, May 17th - diarrhea if that's relevant. I saw my surgeon on May 23rd and he said to add a Fiber supplement. I asked if Citrucel was okay and he said yes. NO POOP. I have tried apple juice and Dulcolax suppositories. NO POOP. I am not in any pain, but I can tell that something needs to get the hell out of there.

Is it time for an enema? If so, is there a preferred brand? At this point, I'm willing to try a hammer and chisel.

can you take Miralax? Pain med does me that way. I went 10 days after my last csection. I gave in a nd took miralax with applesauce. It worked the next day. Haven't had my sleeve surgery yet but I will be taking precautions earlier this time!

Probiotic helps and eat some prunes with your coffee.

5 weeks post op and I'm going thru the same thing. All I can say is if you take Colace make sure and stay home. Package said it works in 12-72 hours. It had me running in less than 2 hours. LOL.

I took Colace before I went to bed and by the next morning, the eagle landed, so to speak.
