catwoman7 11,221 Posted April 21, 2022 about a week. And just a warning, that first one can be a doozy, so I'm glad you're taking stool softeners! 2 Arabesque and liveaboard15 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizonaplane 1,613 Posted April 21, 2022 I was told I should use a glycerine suppository if I went a long time without going. But check with your surgery center. The stool softeners did absolutely nothing for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GradyCat 3,695 Posted April 22, 2022 I had one while I was still in the hospital and then every day afterward at home. No issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fourmonthspreop 510 Posted April 26, 2022 It took me a week and I'm almost 3 months out and still have issues with it. The more Water the better. Walking is really important too to get things moving.
