female only Ok tmi but bowel movements

[Bombs 353]

Haven't had one since Sunday. Had surgery Monday. Any ideas or how long does it take?

[magtart 603]

Narcotic pain killers can really constipate you. I would suggest a daily dose of Miralax or the store brand. It can be dissolved in any liquid and is clear and tasteless.

Took me a week.

[BlessedBeyondMeasure2012 296]

You have to remember that you really haven't put anything in since Sunday either (most likely). liquids in, liquids out. Miralax wouldn't hurt but you need to make sure you are getting plenty of fluids in too, that can make a difference.

I am just the opposite. I've had touch of diarrhea since my surgery.

I had the same issue the week of my surgery. The NP at my surgeons adduce told me to take milk of magnesia. Horrible tasting stuff, but it did the trick. Only took one dose and have been regular ever since.

I did not have a BM for 5 or so days, followed by 2 days of diarrhea, followed by regular ever since. "This too shall pass"

I have had loose bowels for days. I am on day 7. Will this settle down?

YES, but if it does on for too long, call the MD.
