For me it was 3 days after surgery, and every day since. Thankfully I haven't had to take anything, and my stools have been normal. Not sure why because I sure haven't had anything to eat in over a week.

But my doctor told me to take Metamucil if it was needed.

I had trouble, it took 7 days and I had to use a stool softener with laxatives

I still have trouble 2 years later but they put me on Linzess and that helps alot.

6 days.. And boy was it painful. They suggested milk of magnesia. two doses over two days (about 2 tablespoons sipped each day) and if that didn't work try an enema. Definitely ask your doctor though.

I went on the second day I was in the hospital. I am almost a month post op and I go maybe once a week. But am really not eating anything solid so I feel that I will not really have a "normal" BM.
