I took pain meds at home as needed. Not for too long. Had first BM on day 9!!! It was quite the celebration! (No pain though)

Did you guys take any stool softeners or anything to make you go ?

I took a liquid stool softener that was so painfully distasteful that I couldn't do it again. (4 days before I actually went) so I don't think that was effective because you're supposed to take it three times a day. They have stool softener suppositories that I would take... I didn't take any yet, cuz I wanted to wait it out. Wasn't in pain or feeling constipated at all. You can take suppositories if you're uncomfortable.

Also drink drink drink!

I am on my 7th post-op day. I really don't think I needed pain meds but maybe one time after I got home and it was only because I was worried I wouldn't be able to sleep very well through the night. My first BM was day 6. I took Miralax and mixed it in with me a little small amount of unsweetened apple juice or my Protein drink and it's very mild it doesn't taste at all.

I'm on post-op day 6. Still taking my oxy at night to sleep along with anti nausea and muscle relaxers. Have laid off the pain meds during the day so I can try to get my liquids in. BM day 5 after sipping 3 tbsp of milk of magnesia day 4.

I had half a vicoden once i got home on my 3rd day but nothing since then. I picked up liquid tylenol but havent used it yet. I havent had a solid bm, only diarrhea, but a small amount every day. I have had cronic diarrhea since i had my gallbladder out 13 years ago, so i might be a special case. Lol

How do you sleep? I am a side sleeper and find that using a sobakawa cloud pillow to support my stomach makes it easier to sleep.
