I had surgery a week ago. I have been bloated and have not had a bowl in 4 days.

Is this normal? Will it pass?

Contact your MD if you are not having bowel movements. Straining to pass stool is probably not ideal this close to surgery. He/she can help you. Are you taking narcotics?? That can plug you up. Walking and increased fluids might help but the MD is your best bet! (and NO it is not "normal"...common but not normal...) Good luck!!!
