Bowel Movement

[Lmcdooley 34]

I am 6 days post op and have not had a bowel movement. I am feeling pretty flush today like hot and cold sweats. Just wondering if anyone else has had these issues? Any recommendations?

[Yvonne22474 6]

I have had these issues. Maybe try raisins or oj

Oh heck no to the oj or raisins, not at 6 days post-op!!!! Call your doctor's office, mine recommended colace, or Miralax, or suppositories if you are miserably backed up.

I don’t think I had one for over week. Take the Miralax

Absolutely don’t have raisins or oj

Smooth Move tea works - but cramps your stomach for about 15 min. It works though

Feel better

If you still feel feverish - you may want to call dr

I had the same problem and felt nauseous because my digestion wasn’t working properly! Try reflexology it’s worked really well for me !

Miralax, and up the walking and fluids if you can. It will pass (literally)

If you take the medicine and that doesn’t work, try prune juice.

Don't you worry at all. You're not taking much in and so there isn't much to put out. I didn't have my first BM until the other day and I was 10 days post-op. I was taking colace daily (stool softener). It did hurt a little but at the same time felt amazing to go. I had another BM 3 days later (today at 13 days post-op). Things will get moving again. My doctor had no concern about the delay.

But you hate the thought or sensation of being full of Poo!💩

Stool softener daily and try milk of magnesia
