Help ! I haven't pooped in 7 days!

[jcrob 19]

I have tried everything nothing is working! Can I eat something wrong to make my sleeve dump?

I would suggest some Milk of Magnesia. Usually works within an hour for me.

7 days is too long for sure. Are you adding anything like Miralax to your diet?

I would contact your doc or nut - you need to poo! :-)

[jcrob 19]

Yes murk ax doesn't work.

Sooty mirlax doesn't work

[AngelaWilliamsMD 290]

For immediate relief, an enema or a suppository may be of benefit. I am a strong believer in daily Miralax for chronic Constipation, don't give up on that stuff.

Smooth Move Tea works for me

[majorsmama 91]

My surgeon gave me milk of magnesia and it works like a charm. Too good in fact. ????

[twittymilk 51]

Go buy some milk of magnesia take a capful and you will be good to go.

I get a little help with a touch of caffeine. Maybe a small cup of coffee or tea with caffeine. But check with your NUT too....

Are you passing any gas at all? Any bowel sounds? If the answer is no, there may be concern for a bowel obstruction. If the answer is yes. Are you walking? Are you getting in your fluids? I have tried a fleet enema after 3 days post op, but was also passing some gas and taking miralax daily. The fleet helped me and then the miralax caught up finally. Milk of mag is good, just tastes yucky. I would call your Doctor. 7 days is too long.

I'm am passing plenty of gas ! I am drinking all my fluids and my stomach tells me that I need to go and I can almost feel it back there but I won't come out ! Sorry for the TMI

I am walking everyday ! A mile are more everyday.

[Dream4tc 192]

@@jcrob that's good! Passing gas means your bowels are awake. You may have some initial hard stool, kind of like a cork preventing you to start. I have a feeling that once you get started you won't have any problems. Sometimes doctors recommend fleet enemas, dulcolax, senakot, colace, miralax and milk of mag. It just depends on what your doctor recommends. I would find out, they usually give you a few choices. I hope you get to go soon. I have been there and it is miserable feeling.

The only thing that works for me is milk of magnesia. Take the full cup and drink warm tea or Water and less than an hour you'll be going. I can't go on my own either but this always works.
