i havent gone to the little boys room and drop the duece in 4 days, i tried tonight but it just hurts way to much to even try to push, i do not believe i am constapated, just that im under so much pain i can manage to do it...

any suggestions?

the dr. said to take milk of magnesia i will try that and keep everyone updated

If you don't have anyone to do it I will volunteer my services.

You are one grand lady! He didn't take you up on it yet, but let it get bad enough, right?

Nah, bandman, the milk of magnesia will fix you right up. Good luck!!!

I am on a prescription for IBS now (zelnorm), Should I continue to take it after the surgery?

Day five was the magic number for me. You've had some serious trauma...your body is rebelling for a bit. Check in with your doctor before you do anything is what I was told...and then the problem sort of solved itself.

They said that it could take several days...even more if you had the bypass.

Hang in there!

well the milk of magnesia worked, not a lot came out, lol but enough for me to be satisfied that all of me is working...

You had an offer for help with a suppository and it didn't even penetrate your skull. Men....geeeeez. Tell the girl you need her help.

You guys are sick, didn't you hear the man.....EXIT ONLY..... Glad you are moving freely Bandman.

I still have that problem occasionally. I use glycerine suppositories. They work in like 20 minutes.

Hi

I had the same problem and took a dose of Milk of Magnesia in a glass of water. You need to take it in water to have it work really well.

Good luck!

It's a wierd feeling but they do work well. I agree.

I don't know...check with your doc to be sure. Maybe start a new thread and ask? You'll get better reples than on this thread, I'll bet.

Keep up the good work, bandman!
