***5 DAYS POST OP***

[KendraLynne 38]

So TMI...

I'm so bloated and constipated. I ate a sugar free mini Hershey chocolate because it has a laxative effect and I have nothing else.. I'm deseperate! I'm so uncomfortable!!! I'm passing gas. Just not going number 2.. Hopefully it gets things moving!!

I enjoy a good enema for quick relief. You can get them at the grocery store, Walmart, pharmacy... Fleet is a good brand. Get several while you are shopping!

I'm still on liquid but I'm allowed to have sugar free ice cream popsicles.. 1% milk.. Creamy Soup.. sugar free Jello. Not on the Clear liquids. I need to get some. Nothing helped. Even took some colace.

I'm going to try Miralax and some gasX strips.

What helped me was *I stopped taking pain meds 2 days post op, they also said anesthesia effects our bowls too* but I'm to take two colace a day for a month, walk walk walk helps bowls move, and most importantly Water, it helps more if you're getting your liquids in. I have been able to get mine in since day 3 and by day 4 I've been regularly going ever since (I'm 6 days post op). If you aren't getting liquids in or walking much that could be the problem as well because we need that Water and movement to make our bowls get going. Hope this helps!

I'm a little over a week post-op. Gas X strips were my life saver! Also stay hydrated, check with your dr if you can have some Milk of Magnesia to get things moving. Good luck!

Colace stool softener. I'm two weeks post and I used this once, and I'm already back to regular.
