When did you start doing poop?

[rimmarrufo 44]

I don't mean to gross anyone, but how soon did you poop? I haven't poop got 3 days and I'm taking the stool softners but nothing happening.

I was constipated for about 3 weeks and have been pretty regular since then - but I think it varies a lot from person to person

Don't even recall (sx in 2003) But it can take time. Drink, exercise, keep on with the softener. Give it a week to 10 days; but if you're uncomfortable, then call the Dr.

Hey!

It took a few days for me, but I was normally a slow mover pre-surgery.

Good luck and happy pooping!

Was 13 days for me (5 days before, 8 days after). My doctor suggested Miralax so I bought some on the way home from the appointment. Never got to take it because the next morning all was right in my world. Now it's like every 4-5 days. My doctor said this was going to be normal until I started taking in something other than Protein Shakes and other liquids.< /p>

The third day after surgery.. I'm drinking a lot of liquids maybe that's what did it for me.I was so excited. :-)

My surgery was on Monday, and I had my first bowel movement Friday AFTER I walked for 15 minutes on my treadmill. I really think the walking helped to move things along!!!

Surgery on Monday. I felt like I was having a poop baby on the toilet on Sunday. [emoji23]

It was about 3 days for me. I discontinued pain meds before leaving hospital since they are a main cause of Constipation and urinary retention.

A few days after surgery and I have had issues with Constipation on and off since then! I bought a bottle of over the counter stool softener and pop one every now and again when it's been a day or two. The more Water you drink and the more you move really helps keep things regular

My dr said 3 days after being released from hospital. If no poop to take milk of magnesia. The pain killers slow down your whole system.
