LipstickLady 25,682 Posted November 2, 2013 It took me 13 days to poo. After, birds were singing, the sky was bluer, flowers brighter, children were giggling and rainbows were everywhere. I get it. 2 hiddis and Disabledaccount reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

back2barb78 890 Posted November 2, 2013 Milk of Magnesia is my BFF. I had to call on Jesus, Mary, and Joseph for relief the 1st time and it was about a 3 hour endeavor after 2 MOM doses over 24 hours time. I cried a little {)i(} Sent from my iPhone using VST {)i(} 1 ImLooznit reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImLooznit 171 Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) OMG... Been where you ARE.. get you some MOM. Milk of magnesium. TAKE a capful. I KNOW what $hitting a BRICK feels like as I waited TOO long after surgery. I had to give myself enemas, and it still did not work. MOM, milk of magnesium will be your FRIEND~~~ take a cap-full early morning-afternoon......if it does not work the first time, ADD MORE to the cap on top of bottle. Take a double shot if needed, Just STAY CLOSE to the bathroom as it will remove the PLUG, but will make u RUN...................SMOOTH MOVE.................after MOM......... it makes u say AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Edited November 2, 2013 by ImLooznit 2 back2barb78 and hiddis reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hiddis 12 Posted November 2, 2013 Just had my band out and I pushed for an hour when I finally had to go. My legs and feet got numb from sitting. Talk about interrupting progress to stand and shake out the numbness in my lower extremities Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
