Poop

[Steph Anie 72]

I'm 4 weeks out and I can't remember the last time I pooped. I'm going to have to get a poop calendar. I am not even kidding. I know for a while I was going once ever 3 days or so---I know I haven't pooped this week or last. I am passing gas...but no poop. What can we do to get things moving again? I'm not in pain or uncomfortable or anything if that makes a difference.

A girls gotta go!

I know the exact feeling, my dietician recommended movicol, 1 sachet then if you don't go 2 sachets the next day. She also suggested to add some fibre powder to your Water, the one I got is unflavoured so I just add 4 tsps to my bottle of water

how much Water are you drinking daily?

Up until this weekend I was meeting my daily Water and Fluid goals. Hubby was in a motorcycle accident Saturday and fractured his C2 vertebrate and we spent until Monday on the neurology floor at the hospital--had surgery etc. I feel like my eating and everything has gone backwards due to this (only 4 weeks post op)--but I was having this issue before he actually had his accident. I am going to try miralax today....meet with dr tomorrow for my 1 month post-op.

I was told this is kind of normal, you're not eating much so not much is coming out

I'm 4 months out and bathroom time is still and adventure

I had my first BM today after taking Milk of Magnesium yesterday. A little over a week since my procedure.

Prior to surgery I was quite regular, once or twice a day. Had surgery on Monday and my surgeon told me if I hadn't pooped by Wednesday to take milk of magnesia. Wednesday came and no poop, so I took the milk of magnesia and voilà I pooped today! Lol

Apparently just the treat of a laxative or an enema spoken by the dr worked....I POOPED!!! :-)
