My doctor prescribed DOK plus to loosen stools after surgery and said to take as needed

I am still on the pureed stage and not really going much. Is that normal? How long did you take the medicine?

My doctor recommended suppository or Milk of Magnesia, and yes it is normal, we really aren't eating anything so our bodies are adjusting. I waited 4 days without going before I took anything. Now I seem to go every 2-3 days and not much and I am on soft foods at this point, I am 3 weeks out.
