Uterno 41 Posted August 14, 2018 I was always very regular. Toward the end of the mostly liquid pre-op diet, my BMs became infrequent, and hard! After surgery, I think it was 10 days before I had a movement, and it was a struggle. I started taking a stool softener/laxative combo (2/day), plus Metamucil (3/day). Today is 11 weeks out for me (wow!). I'm still not a daily "goer" anymore, but it's getting better. And it's not a chore when I go anymore. I'm still on the softener/laxative + Metamucil regimen. Hopefully that's not forever. I will admit, the more that I walk the more regular I am. Movement really is the key to movement. Hee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
