jacksmommy719 63 Posted October 1, 2012 Being on a full liquid diet since surgery on 9/24, is it normal that I haven't gone #2?? I don't feel constipated but I'm wondering what exactly should be happening and when?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sabbymomof3 11 Posted October 1, 2012 I had mine on the 26th. And had a bowel movement two days later. It was all liquid coming out. I have yet to have a solid bowel movement yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DEZ1975 170 Posted October 1, 2012 My surgeon said it could take 5-7 days for a post op BM. If longer than 7 days he said use a Fleets enema because nothing you take by mouth at that point will do any good. I finally went at 5 days post op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barrbdoll 287 Posted October 1, 2012 Took me about 9 days after surgery to go and it was painful..... still not as regular as I was prior to surgery. I purchased some Smooth Move Herbal Tea and need to be diligent in drinking it each evening.... It definitely works and is all natural!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
