It was at least 5 or 6 days after surgery before I had anything to "produce" and even now, 3 months post op, I often go several days without a BM. Given the fact that not much is going in, it would be fair to say that not much needs to find it's way out but one tool that has been most beneficial to me is the squatty potty.

It is probably a torn muscle. I had my surgery a few months ago and I developed a cough just a few days after surgery. During one of my spells, I had an awful burning pain develop on my lower right side. It ended up being my abdominal muscle tearing, the one my surgeon anquored my incisions into to prevent hernia. It hurt like burning Hell for weeks but it eventually healed.
