Shustar 395 Posted July 5, 2015 Might be time for the ever popular Fleet Enema! Warm it up slightly in the microwave and let it do its work! Good luck! What did they say at the ER? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's so funny, because you're right, it's not exactly something you can casually bring up with your work buddies! (lol) I actually went almost 2 weeks! (never felt bad, but was on mostly liquids) Then accidentally I tried a little coffee. To say the least, things evened out! I don't think I'll do coffee again anytime soon.

Is this normal? my surgery was June 30th and I have not been if I don't go by Monday I'm going to the er I been taking stool softener since I been in the hospital If you're not uncomfortable I wouldn't worry too much... but I'd also try "smooth move" tea. I didn't go for nearly a week after my surgery and my nutritionist said this was normal between the anesthesia and the liquid diet. However I found it weird and drank the tea to speed things up. It's good to have on hand for this sort of thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

momfromjersey22 403 Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) I didn't go for almost a week and a half after surgery. Never took anything, I was informed that I may only go 1 to 2 times a week, so I didn't worry. Edited July 5, 2015 by momfromjersey22 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
